ASP:DetailsView How do I either autofill the insert fields or insert from the edit view

Question

I have a asp web application where I want to be able to add new records without having to retype everything.

When I click 'New' it brings up the insert view with empty textboxes or if I goto edit the textboxes are filled but I cannot save it as a new recored.

Is there a way to have the selected record autofill the textboxes when I click 'New'???

Or, a way to use the 'Edit' view of a record to then Insert the edited information as a new record instead of just updating the current record???

Thanks for your help,

Jeff

I think this is the best way to use the 'Edit' view of a record to then Insert the edited information as a new record instead of just updating the current record.
I think in this way user will not confuse...
