Ability to copy layout elements

Just a suggestion for future releases. There should be a mean of copying layout elements. This is one of the largest frustrations - the fact that you have to create every element even if they are unbound. The same thing goes for copying a form - this would be very handy when many times you are creating the same forms but with slight differences.

Just a thought.

You can copy a form now, within the same database.

From the Designer Tree, expand Manage a Database.
Now expand the database that has the form.
Select Manage Layouts
In the Transaction Builder, select "Copy a Layout".
Select the form to be copied from the list of Layout Names.
Enter the name for the new form in the field for New Name.
Click on Add Transaction to Batch button.
Click on Run Batch button. 
Click on Close,

You now have your copied form.
Expand Forms, redesign/Customize  A Form
Expand the database, and you will see your copied form with the new name.

Thanks Bob that certainly makes things easier - it would still be nice to copy layout elements but copying forms will save me a lot of time.

I agree. It's on my upgrade list!
