I am using forms 6i, I want to insert a new record in the form based on an existing record (so I do not have to type all the values)
is there a shortcut key that I can use to copy the entire record and then when I say insert new, I just paste the record I just copied ?

1. Why don't you insert as many duplicate records as you need at the first time itself.
2. If point 1 makes no sense, then, you can create a functionality which would simply do - insert into tab select * from tab where <restrict number of records here>;

Right, point 1 makes no sense. Neither does point 2.
Forms does that itself; when you run a form, navigate to an empty record (that would be, by default, the last one within a block. Or, create a new record by pushing the appropriate button in form's toolbar). Then choose "Record" menu and "Duplicate", which would copy contents of the above record into the newly created one.

As of a shortcut key: see contents of the FMRWEB.RES file (or, possibly, other .RES files you have). For some more info, have a look at Mapping Functional Keys in Forms 6i discussion; it is rather old, but you might find it useful.

Frnd @littlefoot already explained you brilliantly no doubt about that but my question is to you that your block is multi-record-block 2ndly are you trying to check duplication on multi-record-block like
let suppose you have in your form tabular field
item no.
1001
1001--->here if same num. is comming again should message display "Duplicate Record".if yes then you can check duplication very easily.
anyway as i said @littlefoot is already explaind you. then no need.
Regard
Mughal
