<div>
I can select the control and press Ctrl C + Ctrl V, and Access will create a copy of the control just below the existing control.

<div>
I'm currently working with 2010 and that doesn't work. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
In my case I'm working with a blank, newly created form. &nbsp;I added a check box control. &nbsp;I can select the check box and right click on it to get a popup menu which gives me the option of copy among others. &nbsp;Selecting that, then moving the focus to another part of the form, right clicking again and no paste option.<br />
<br />
Similarly Ctrl C and Ctrl V do nothing as well.<br />

Skip

<div>
Just to be clear; the paste option is present in both the popup menus, but the paste option is grayed out in both cases.<br />
<br />
Skip

I think I was the same when I started using Access 2010, still not used to the Layout View to be honest.

Changing view was the solution.

Prior to Access 2007, it was possible to right click on a control on an Access form while in design mode and select 'duplicate' to create a copy of that control just below the existing control. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
This functionality is no longer present. &nbsp;I can't even seem to find a way to copy and paste a control.<br />
<br />
Very frustrating! &nbsp;What am I missing?
