i would like to have a specific field example: ("company Name") in multiple documents linked to each other. Meaning, if I have 50 documents all with one field in common I would like to enter the information once only in one location and have the entry populate that liked field in all 50 documents./ The documents are separate from each other only having the spacific project in common. The documents will be printed at separate times and the forms are different. They share some fields but have different fields that do not appear in other documents.

You have to write code to open all the docs and change the values in each one. The code will of course have to know the names of all the files and where they are located.
If this is something that only happens on your system, or a small group of known systems, then you should write it as a folder level script activated from a toolbar button.
One way to manage the process a bit tighter is to place all of the forms into Forms package and use a document script on the cover doc. This works really well if only the cover form is used to make changes. If you need any form to update the group your better off keeping the forms as separate files and using a folder level script.

Thanks Thom,
I'm not sure what all that means but clearly it's enough information that I will be able to specificaly reasearch and learn the process you are refering to. So, thats a great time and frustration saver. Thanks again.
