Replacing data with another value
You can replace the contents of a field with another value. 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. For example, the ZIP Code for a city has been changed, and you need to make the change in several contact records.

The Replace Field function changes all data in a lookup. This can cause data loss so you should back up the database before using Replace Field. |
To replace data with another value
Create a lookup.
From the Edit menu, select Replace Field.
In the Replace Data dialog box, in the Replace contents of field, select a field from the list.
In the Value field, depending upon the field you selected in Step 3, select a value from the list or type a value, and then click OK.
At the confirmation message box, click Yes.
