Hi all

 

Is there a way to multiply a data record? For example, I need to make 6 copies of a certain data record. And I would like to do this as fast as possible as I have to multiply a lot of data records. Something like a button in the entry mask where I could chose how many times i would like to multiply the data record would be great.

 

Your input is more than welcome;)

Well, you can use a looping script with the Duplicate Record script step; use a global field (or a dialog) to enter the number of copies to be made (or hardcode it into the script if you always need the same number).

 

And I would like to do this as fast as possible as I have to multiply a lot of data records.

 

Because …?

I have to multiply a lot of data records.

 

I would also ask why you need to do this. That's not something you should be needing to do in a well-designed database.

Comment, you do well by asking why it is needed, but it is a bit of a stretch to say the database is not well designed based on a single request for assistance.

Where did Comment say that?
