Could someone help me with a small problem I have. I want to copy and paste a few records using VB. I am using this to copyand paste 1 record but when I have more than 1 i need to copy copy all and paste append.

    DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, acSelectAllRecords, , acMenuVer70
    DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 2, , acMenuVer70
    DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 5, , acMenuVer70

any help would be appriciated.

What you proposed is probably not the most efficient way to copy and paste data. To help you out better, please tell us what you're trying to copy from where to where. Thanks.

I have an invoice data base. One DB is the invoice itself and the other is the details of the invoice. Eg qty, description, unit price, accounting code. When we have to cancel and reissue an invoice I want access to cancel the exciting invoice and create a copy. In the details DB create a copy of the details records from the original invoice so I can relate these records to the new invoice. I hope this explains. When all is said and done. I will have the original invoice (cancelled) with the details, and a new invoice with the same detail records as the original. I have every thing working correctly except the duplication of the detail records. The way I am doing it now only copies one record. With the details form open and filtered to show only the records for this invoice and perform a manual menu operation in access with EDIT, SELECT ALL RECORDS, COPY, PASTE APPEND it works fine but have now idea as to how to do this in VB.
Thanks for your interest in helping me resolve this problem.
