I have a situation were I want to set the date the same in all records.
I have set gbdate = "Sept 1 2007" and I want to make each occurance
of a gbdate in all record to be the same. Years ago there use to be a
"Push" Option. How would I do it now?
FM 8.1 Mac 10.4.9

Subject: Make all values the same in one field
I've been using FM since version 2. I don't recall "Push."

Be that as it may, see Help: Replacing the contents of a field.

To have that field filled by default with specific data when you create
a new record, set that in the Define >> Database >> Fields >>[The field
you want] >> Options >> Auto-Enter >> Data


To fill that field with the same data in all existing records:

1. Do Records >> Show All Records

2. Click in the field you want to set.

3. Set the desired value in that field.

4. Do Records >> Replace Field Contents
