>In addition to these suggestions I have a label on the top of the form, which said: "This is a cloned record". Sometimes user becomes confused, so it would be helpful to have a visual clue. Don't forget to make this label invisible once you save or move to another record.


Hi Nadya,

Good suggestion. I realized the same thing, and added a messagebox after the gather that says (in effect)"The duplicate has been added and is ready for you to save/cancel. Click OK to return to the standard save/cancel nav buttons."

Thanks again to all for the help. I have saved two employees each about 2 hours per week with this implementation!! All it took was about 3 hours of work :)
