Basically... right now I have a magnifying glass, the pencil, and a trash can for my records. I want to add a plus next to each one of my records and when I click on the plus it copies that records values into a new record and creates a new ID.
I can then modify some of the values in the record or keep it the same if I choose. Does that make sense? On Friday, May 2, 2014 9:57:23 AM UTC-4, LoveWeb2py wrote: > > This is very helpful, Richard.
