Default a keyboard shortcut to duplicate the last record entered

Is there a keyboard shortcut you can use to copy or duplicate all the fields
from the last record into the current record? I know you can use Ctrl + '
to duplicate a single field, but is there another keystroke that will
duplicate ALL the fields from the last record?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

You can create a button on the form where the record is entered. In the
button wizard, one of the options is to create a duplicate record.

Thanks for the information, Emmweb.

Since you suggested using a command button, does that mean there is no
built-in keyboard shortcut that will copy the entire last record entered
into a new record?

If there is one, I'm not aware of it.
Sorry!
