The <OBJECT>.DUPLICATE_RECORD() method applies to:

Browses (for <OBJECT> use either the <BROWSE> pointer or the name of the browse)
Forms (for <OBJECT> use either the <FORM> pointer or the name of the form)

The <OBJECT>.DUPLICATE_RECORD() method creates a new record that is a duplicate of the current record and then moves focus to the new record. The method returns the number of the new record.
