Hi-
[NAME] = [STATE_NAME] is a Boolean test with a result of -1 for matching
values and 0 for different values.

Subject: GISList: Sum: copying a field
Thanks to David Bennett and Steven Williams for the solution of copying a
field. My mistake was in the syntax. All I had to do was select or type
[STATE_NAME] instead of [NAME] = [STATE_NAME].
That was a quick solution! Thanks again.

Original question:
How do you copy a field in ArcGIS? I have a table with a field called
"STATE_NAME" (text format with state names). I want to make a copy of this
field with the field name "Name". I added a new field (text type) to the
table, then used the Calculate Values in the context menu with this command:
[NAME] = [STATE_NAME], but the field gets only populated with either -1 or
zeros. Does this not work with text or what is the correct syntax?
