Amanda,
You may prefer to use the method that Chuck suggested, but instead of copying your model project, you may prefer to create a new project and them make the button such that it imports a standard set of Gates into that project.

When you make the button it will give you that choice.

Typically, I then have a summary field to count that gates and then if the projects already has gates, I would suppress that import std gates button.

    Can you explain a bit more. Do I have to create a seperate table for the standard gates? I currently have a list in my Gate details table where I pick which gatemodel it is.

    The idea is to create a model template project in the regular Projects table. Set the permissions so that regular users cannot edit it

    Then use the wizard in app mananahement to create the magic button for you.

    Choose the option offered to always select gates from the same project, then you will be allowed to specify your template project as the source for the gates.
