Cannot copy key values?

Tried to use copy to dub a record, found that the new record is filled with all fields except the key field.
How to dub the key also? It is nice to have it 'pre-typed' as other fields do, in Add New Record page.
Thanks.

Hi,
use Add page: Before display event to fill key field.

Here is a sample code:

if request.querystring("copyid1")<>"" then

smarty("value_FieldName") = request.querystring("copyid1")

end if



where FieldName is your actual field name.

Thanks.
Tried to add the code into Add page: Before display, but the field was not filled.

Comment out the if-condition, nothing returned.

Add code in Add page: AddOnLoad... nothing again.
The parameter copyid1 clearly had something as shown in the querystring of the URL passed in, however, it does not return anything even when printed (using Response.Write).
The field was to be editted as a short date format in the Add page.
The code copied in Add page: Before display is like this:

if request.querystring("copyid1")<>"" then

smarty("in_date") = request.querystring("copyid1")

end if


Thanks.

Hi,
please make sure that you've replaced only FieldName with your actual field name in the code:

if request.querystring("copyid1")<>"" then

smarty("value_FieldName") = request.querystring("copyid1")

end if

Oh... yes.. I missed the signature.

It works now.

Thanks!
