Hi Capital, First, if you need to create identical records then your database design almost certainly doesn't conform to basic principles of normalization. If you want to improve that situation, many people online will be eager to point you in the right direction.
Second, why can't you do it? Because you don't know how, or because you're getting an error message? To select a record in datasheet view, you can click the record-selector area, at the left side of the window, that corresponds to the record you want to copy. To copy the record, you can use the edit menu. To paste the data into a new record, select the blank row at the bottom of the datasheet (the "new record" row). Then paste the data, which you can also do with the edit menu. If you receive an error message, note the exact wording of the message, and post it here for more help.
