Hello All. I'm having an issue and I've tried thinking of all the workarounds and haven't come up with a usable method.

I built a form that pulls info from a Pipeline table. I wanted to archive previous info onto a separate table and keep track of all the people that make edits.

Is there a way to copy the original info (before edits) and paste it into an archive table by way of a click() and then allow the others to make edits after securing the original info? This has been bugging me all week.

Hi,
You must have an archive table, and you save the data into it simply calling an insert select statement.

You can use like this:
insert into TblArchive(fld1,fld2,...fldn) select frl1,fld2,..fldn
from TblOriginal
