    copying a form (equivalent to a 'save as')


    i have designed a form which I want to copy and modify only slightly. I've tried creating a new form but the copy/paste option is not an option. I don't want to have to reinvent the wheel on this. any thoughts? Thanks

    have the form closed and right click on the one you want to copy. then select copy. then right click anywhere else in the form area on and select paste. It will then ask you for a name to save it as.

    You are very welcome. Glad I could help. I use that all the time when different users want their report to look just a little different. It is a great time saver.
