Duplicating Recordsets

AFAIK, Recordsets are just different "views" of data in the Tables so you
cannot modify data in the "views" without modifying data in the Tables.

Thus, the temp. Table is the correct solution.

I want to take data from a table, modify it and put it in
a report without changing the original table data.
OpenTable links the rst to the table data as does .clone.
OpenSnapshot locks the records for modification. I ended
up using a temp table, but this isn't very elegant. How
can I create a modifiable copy of a recordset independent
of the original?
