IPO curve editor

i made a character and put in the rig added a keyframe and then duplicated it all. now when i’m trying to animate both characters move in the same way. someone on blender artists told me that i have to set the keyframes to single user in the IPO curve editor but i couldn’t find anything that said that. can anyone tell me how to do it?:o

The ipo data block will have anumber next to it to show the number of users of that datablock. Mouse click on the number to make it a single user.

Thank you!!!

i did exactly what you said and made the data block single user in the ipo curve editor but it still dose it
