Replace Command

The Replace command replaces the current information in the specified field with the new information that you enter. This is used in conjunction with the Select command .

After selecting one of the above options for the Replace command , you are asked to enter the replacement value . Unique will then replace the field with the new information for all the selected clients. 

This feature is mainly used to help speed up data entry, usually a time consuming and boring job. Suppose you have just entered 30 new clients but you didn't put in their city or state. You could manually enter the city and state information for each client (that's 30 different data entries) or you could select those 30 clients and tell Unique to replace the City and State fields with the new entries.   Instead of entering the same city and state names 30 times, you entered them once and let Unique do all the work.
