ABSTRACT:
A computer database amendment tool provide a graphical user interface which enables a user to easily copy each of a selected subset of a group of data items in the database to one or more selected destinations. A representation of a notepad is displayed overlying screens which display information stored in the database. By positioning the notepad representation over a representation of an item stored in the database, and issuing a transfer command, the user is able to copy that item to a storage location in the computer's memory. After the underlying display has been changed, another command may be used to transfer data from the storage location to another database location.
