Yes it can be done. If you have Goldbox, it has a great "Global Replace" feature. GoldMine can also do it very well. To start with:
1. Backup your database.
2. Form a group of the contacts whose key2 entries you want to change to another entry. This can be done with SQL Queries, Filters, or tagging records.
3. Activate the group.
4. Select Tools > Global Replace >Replace a field with a value.
5. Step through the next steps to identify the field and the value you want to enter in replacement and verify that your group is activated.
For more help, go to GoldMine's Help then Help Topics then Index. Enter "global replacing" in the index and you will get a lot of good additional information. |

In addition to Bob's comments, I have used GoldBox Views to create a tool that makes bringing GoldMine fields into Validated condition easy. Maybe overkill for your situation, but maybe not. Depends on your needs. You can see graphics and discussion at http://www.goldboxbob.com/examples7.html |
