mass update question

Print Post Print Post  
Im looking to move the information from one element field on a form to another element field on its subform, so I can remove the duplicate field main form. How would I program that? Or Im I going about it the wrong way?

Flip,
I don't see why it couldn't be done with "Xpost".Just do a mass update and xpost from one layout to the other.

You can use FormFieldValue() in a Mass Update to copy info from a parent record into its children.
