Copy Record into New Table using Button

Good Afternoon Everyone.

I was looking for help on how to copy record data from one table to another. The following example worked great in the events section, but I could not get it to work under a button. Can anyone help me apply this to a button.
//** Save old/new data record in another table ****

global $dal;

$tblUsers = $dal->Table("YOURNEWTABLE");

$tblUsers->Param["ID"]=$values["ID"];//optional for where

$tblUsers->Value["Field1"]=$values["Field1"];

$tblUsers->Value["Field2"]=$values["Field2"];

$tblUsers->Value["Field3"]=$values["Field3"];

$tblUsers->Add();
return true;
// second table should be auto number and this field should not be included above.

Also useful for archive backup recovery....
