If you used an { INCLUDETEXT } field, it would just be a matter of updating
that field (F9). If you used copy and paste, then there is no link between
the text in the document and the original.

i have tried updating it included form by F9, however it keeps deleting the
information i just typed. ex. the main doc is "m71.frm" and in that form i
want to include the "crt.frm". i merge the doc so that i can modify the
crt.frm. i'm using if... then...else statements in the crt.frm. i cannot
update the crt.frm because there are no fields to update in the crt.frm.
so... when i'm in the m71.frm i make my changes to the crt.frm then press f9,
but the changes are gone!!! HELP
