copying a field and all its data

[shaolinstyl]

I need to duplicate a field and all the data from that field in each record into the new field. (ie not a global field where each record has the same value but rather each record has a different value based on the original field) . What would be the easiest way to do this? Thanks.

You could script it and use the Set Field command with a calculation to perform the "copy".

Or you could do it by hand using the replace command (specify a calculated result).
