This would be better asked in comp.databases where all kinds of RDBMS 
type hang out, but since I'm here *anyway*.

>1) Is there a way to duplicate records while editing in dbase or foxbase?

In foxbase it should be simple. Go to the record you want to copy,
and issue ths following commands

scatter to <memvar array>
append blank
gather from <memvar array>

viola! a duplicate record in every respect (and a copy in memory too 
for that matter). Of course, I *presume* you're talking about editing 
a record in the programming sense, not from the dot prompt.

>2) Is there a way to print multiple copies of a database (for normal print
>   or labels)?

If you wrote a short program to @ x,y say's at the right place, and set
device to printer you should be able to get the effect you're looking for.

>Any help is appreciated.
Hope this has been such.
