You don't need or want macros for this. Instead, use REF fields to replicate
the information in the first field. You don't indicate whether this is a
protected form. If it is, the formfields are automatically given a name
(which you can change). If you are using Fill-In fields you would need to
bookmark the result. This is a reason I prefer to use ASK fields; they
create a bookmarked result and you name the bookmark as a part of your ASK
field.
{ REF "BookmarkName" }
You can get this field by using Insert => Cross-Reference or Insert =>
Field. You can also type it after pressing the Ctrl-F9 key combination to
insert the field delimiters (which look like braces but are not).
REF fields need to be forced to update. This can be done in a protected form
by marking the source formfield to "calculate on exit." In other kinds of
forms it requires a macro to update the REF fields which you can call (or
you can do it by hand).
