    Copy/paste/rename a field in the same form?

    In the Contacts database, in the Report Center form are 5 links on the right pointing to some default reports.

    I have created several more reports, and want to just copy-n-paste those links and then change the 'Tag' so it will point to my new report.

    Can you not just copy-n-paste a field within the same form?

    Those are command button controls. Controls can be copy/pasted in a normal db, however, this is web version of Contacts db. The form is a Navigation form/control. Design edits of web forms and reports are done in Layout View. Simple copy/paste doesn't seem to be possible. Drag command button from the Design tab of ribbon into the blank spot below Contact List. Set properties.

    Hi June,

    In the Navigation Bar > Reports the little icon for my reports is different than the default reports:



    Is that going to cause issues? It is working so far so good...

    They are not web reports. Are you going to put this db on web with SharePoint?

    Why are you doing a report for each month? Do one report and use dynamic filter.
