Surely there is a way to copy a record in a field to the clipboard then
go to blank record in the same field and select several blank records in
the same field and paste; thereby filling several records at a time ?  
DOES ANYBODY OUT THERE HAVE AN ANSWER ?  

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Well, not quite as you've put it, but an easy workaround.  Look up copyToArray() and copyFromArray() in the
on-line help (members of the TCursor type).  You can use these methods in a loop to copy multiple duplicate
records, or portions of records.

By hand or by code?

By hand: not possible.  Closest is Ctrl-D (Ditto, same as above)

By code: use a loop
