How to copy a record as a new record in MS 365 Access. Facility has been removed.

The coding behind the 'duplicate' button has been on a form for 10 years or so. It has duplicated the form and its data to a new form.

Its been working Ok till about 2 years ago. I just lived with it.

However I now have a need to use it.

Its either an upgrade to Access that has prevented this, or maybe Windows 11 or maybe 365

Private Sub Command124_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command124_Click
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPaste
Exit_Command124_Click:
    Exit Sub
Err_Command124_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_Command124_Click
    
End Sub

I verified that this code executes correctly in an mdb running under MS Access 365 on Windows 11.

It appears there is some problem with the way the clipboard works (or doesn't work) in your environment. Can you provide a copy of the mdb in question for further analysis? If so, also please remove sensitive or personally identifiable information.

I suggest you also search for reports of problems with the Windows clipboard under whichever version of Windows you have installed.

Thanks. Actually, that was never a built-in Access function. What you show is the code from a command button which was probably on multiple forms. ("Sheets" is an Excel term and not applicable in this context, by the way.)

That is a command button called "Command124" which was originally created by whoever built that Access database for you. It may have been copied from one form to another over the years as well.

That command button used the DoCmd.RunCommand syntax to copy and paste records.

I'm not sure why it stopped working and when that happened. I'm going to do a bit of testing to see if I can replicate the error you are getting.

I have mdb sheets going back years all with a 'Duplicate Record' button. Which was an inbuilt function. For probably 2 years it suddenly stopped working.

When selecting the button it gives an error 'The clipboard is not responding, so Microsoft Access paste the clipboards contents'.

The coding behind the button is

Private Sub Command124_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command124_Click
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPaste
Exit_Command124_Click:
    Exit Sub
Err_Command124_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_Command124_Click
    
End Sub

The assumption in your statement is not correct. With some limitations, a record can be copied and pasted into a new record in a table. There may be circumstances where the ability to do that is limited by properties set on individual fields within a table, such as a unique index on one or more fields. That, however, is unique to that specific context and does not reflect a general change in behavior.

Please explain WHY you think this happened. Perhaps you were relying on specific code, or perhaps you encountered a situation where unique indexes prevented copy/paste in one particular table. But to address your situation, we need basic details.
