M<adb posn A,B:if A = 25 it asks how many copies of a record are needed 
and creates them. After entering data in the first new record when sa-M 
is pressed again it clears several categories in the next newly created 
record.

This is in Single Record Layout

Both. Deleting from the layout didn't affect the macro but deleting them 
from the database did although they are defined after the categories I 
am using in the macro.

Pressing sa-M I keep getting asked how many copies I need.

Since I first asked the question in the group, I copied my current data 
into an old backup database I had and the macro seems to be working 
again.
