Duplicate "one-to-many" Recordsets

P

PCUser

I have a functional function that can duplicate a record so that I can edit a
specific field and not have to enter all the data for all the fields in a new
record. However, now I have a table that is in a one-to-many relationship
with another table and this function will only duplicate the "one' table. As
for the "many" table, I'm looking for ideas to approach this problem or maybe
someone already has a function that can do this. The function that I have
working for the "one" table is as follows:

Code:
=====================================
Function fCopyRecord(strTable As String, varPKVal) As Long
'Copies a record in a specified table
'Accepts table name and Primary key value.
'Currently assumes a simplistic single PK field

'The fairly generic function below will add a copy of a record to the same
table
'based on an existing PK value and return the PK value of the new record.
'You could then use similar code to create the child records.

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
Dim idx As DAO.Index
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Dim strPKName As String
Dim strFields As String

Set db = CurrentDb
Set tdf = db(strTable)

For Each idx In tdf.Indexes
If idx.Primary Then
strPKName = idx.Fields(0).Name
Exit For
End If
Next

For Each fld In tdf.Fields
If fld.Name <> strPKName Then
strFields = strFields & ",[" & fld.Name & "]"
End If
Next
strFields = Mid(strFields, 2)

Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("")

qdf.SQL = "INSERT INTO [" & strTable & "] (" & strFields & ") " & _
"SELECT " & strFields & " FROM [" & strTable & "] " & _
"WHERE [" & strPKName & "]= " & varPKVal
qdf.Execute
If qdf.RecordsAffected > 0 Then
With db.OpenRecordset("SELECT @@Identity")
fCopyRecord = .Fields(0)
.Close
End With
End If

Set db = Nothing
Set qdf = Nothing
Set tdf = Nothing
Set idx = Nothing
Set fld = Nothing

End Function
=====================================
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Thanks,

PC
