Copying data from one field to another field

You can copy the contents of a field to another field. This operation modifies all records in the current lookup, so before performing it, create a lookup of the contact, group, or company records you want to modify.

  • If the size of the source field is greater than the size of the target field, some data loss may occur.

  • Back up your database before using the Copy Field function. This function changes all data in a lookup. This can cause data loss.
