Doesn't make a lot of sense to me to store the same value in two fields in
the same record, but you can do it through code or a query. This code will
set "MOL" to the value of "Employee" in every record:
Dim db as DAO.Database
Dim rs as DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDB
Set rs = db.OpenRecordse t("Customers" )
If Not(rs.EOF and rs.BOF) Then 'rs is not empty
rs.MoveFirst
Do Until rs.EOF = True
rs.Edit
rs("MOL") = rs("Employee")
rs.Update
rs.MoveNext
Loop
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
Or you can use a Query... here's the SQL... you can execute it manually, or
from code with the .Execute method:
UPDATE Customers SET Customers.MOL = [Customers].[Employee];
If you want to do this only for specific records, obviously then you'll have
to select just the records you want to update, but you didn't mention that.
