Default How can I fill in a form field and have it show up in another FF?

I have a form with Client Name at the top. Client name appears later in the
form as well. I want to be able to entrer it once at the beginning and have
it appear in both locations. I thought I could use the Calculate ability
with the second form field, but can't get that to work. The examples I have
read show a calculation like '=Amount1+Amount2'. I thought I could use and
expression like =ClientName to fill in the second field, where ClientName is
the bookmark for the first form field. The result of that is the second form
field is filled with the letter 'C'. Btw, I did change the deata type of the
second field to Calculate.
I am sure this can be accomplished with VBA, but I don't want to have to
learn VBA for such a simple requirement. What am I missing? Thanks.
