Hi,
Is it possible to not clear all the values on an Add Records page after clicking "save".
After entering values into textboxes and drop downs, I only need to change one field out of 7 on the add page and was hoping to not have to re-enter the other 6 again.
Thanks,

vince

use session variables to spppeed up data entry, there is a brief article about this in the help file.

See Advanced topics, Events, Sample events, Speed up data entry

Can you not use the copy feature from the list page?

Thanks thesofa, I missed that one.. Works great.
Swanside, I have never used the copy feature yet and dont even know how it works, but now that you mention it I think I'll give it a look.
Thanks Everyone,

Vince

There is a tick box on the choose pages page and you can select copy.

This then puts a copy field in the list view. When you press it, it opens an add page with all the details in it.

Just tried it out thesofa, Having so many features and options, I never realized that option was there. Very handy indeed.

Thanks a lot!
