    Entering duplicate data in Form


    I find myself entering the same data in some particular fields from one record to the next. (In a form view). What I would like to be able to do, with a few keystrokes, enter the same data for any field that that has focus that would match what was entered into that same field on the previous record. For example, if I am entering data for record #107 and the [PhoneNumber] in the same as the previous record (#106) [PhoneNumber] record rather then type the phone number again it could be entered again with a few keystrokes. I would like this option for entering any, all or none of the fields in the record I am working on and exercising that option in each field as it has focus. Again, whatever field I was going to repeat, it would always be the same as that same field in the previous record. On more thing, I may sometime need to make a minor change in a repeated field value without changing the field that is being repeated. Thanks

    Will using <CTRL> + Apostrophe (') work for you?
