Thank you so much for helping.
Do I have to go back and forth between databases for each field that I want to do this copy/paste for? Is there a formula batch method for grabbing a group of fields in one database and assigning those values to another database where the field names are not identical? Typically, it is a single student record with multiple fields that needs to go to the other database and have the data go to various fields for manipulation. You are correct, I do have a consistent and unique Student ID for every kid.
(I am building bus lists, rooming lists, class project lists and similar from a multiple thousand record home database. Once transferred, I use the data to build static web pages that contain pictures and biographical links for classroom operation. I make a page for each kid. This is partially why I asked an earlier question about the “web publishing” feature in Pano. I am searching for a faster Pano solution. I have used the Copy/Paste clipboard method for many years and it does work but really pounds the application. With your help, I would like to learn more and progress beyond the basics. I just do not have the computer background knowledge to get past the brute force method of accomplishing the task.) Thanks for listening and helping.
