This is very helpful, Richard. I have about 20 fields so I think I would
have to iterate through the fields and insert the request.vars to the
database.
Ahhh after looking at your code it looks like that could would write a
record from one table to another. In this case I just want to copy a record
from the same table and insert the record as a new ID.
I think the answer will be a combination of your and Oli's approach.
