When duplicating resources, keep in mind that resources related to the resource you’re duplicating will also be duplicated. For example, when you duplicate a table resource, the keys and table relationships for the table are duplicated as well. The following table lists the additional resources that are duplicated when you duplicate a table, form or report.

When some of these related resources are duplicated, such as keys and field physical names, they must be given unique names. To automatically create unique names for these related resources, a number is appended to the name of the new resource.
