“Header detail linked” is not a precise enough term for me to be able to tell what you are doing. How are the documents related to each other?
If these are main documents and response documents, copy and paste should work. But you must copy all the documents, not just the header documents. Responses aren’t copied automatically without your asking for it.

Hi,
Do your “header” and “detail” documents relates by the following rule:
Header: fld_DocUNID = Doc.UniversalID
Detail: fld_DetailDocUNID = DetailDoc.UniversalID
fld_HeaderUNID = fld_DocUNID
If you do so, you make an effort to build an well-related DB object based on Domino Database.
In some cases, we also use this model. When you copy a document from an old database to a new database, your document is assigned a new UniversalID. So, the detail document cannot link to the header document by:
Set headerDoc = Db.GetDocumentByUNID(detailDoc.fld_HeaderUNID(0))
This is the cause of that problem!
Hope to see your success to solve it
Good luck!
