Is there a way to duplicate an entire record in a database

[Guest]

I am trying to build an Access Database to keep data about coin collections.
There may be many records with the exact same data. Is there an easy way to
duplicate a record in an Access Database so that I don't have to keep typing
the same thing over and over?

The command button wizard will happily build you a button to do that.
Choose the "Duplicate Record" action from the "Record Operations"
category.

There are a number of possible tricks. Control ' (quote) used when
entering data will copy the date from the same field in the prior record.
