Is there a simple way to insert a new, duplicate row into a table? It would be useful to be able to copy an entire row and paste it back into the table.

The problem with gridview is that I have a relational database with chemical compounds in one table and associated packages in a separate table. I would like to create a duplicate package record from the form view because the package table does not include the actual chemical information - only the specific package information.
Does that make sense?
Cheers

The ability to duplicate a row has previously been suggested and we plan to implement this.
For now though I think Petr's suggestiuon of using copy and paste should work, assuming I have understood your needs correctly.
If you have a structure table and a detail table that contains your package data and this package table has a many-to-one relationship to the structure table (which presumably it must if you are trying to add a second row) then you can create a form that contains the structues and a table widget that contains the package info. In that table widget you should be able to use copy and paste to create a new row with the same values as the copied row.
But of course a "add new row like this one" function would be simpler.
