Assuming that you have a multirecord block displayed on the screen and that you want to MANUALLY initiate the duplication. Pick a KEY- trigger that you can spare (for example KEY-CQUERY) and write the following trigger:

	CREATE_RECORD;
	DUPLICATE_RECORD;

When you press the count-query key, Forms will open a new record immediately below the current record and then replicate all information from the current record into the new entry.
