myfield is a textfield containing the word 'me'
yourfield is a textfield containing the word 'you'
when you have a calculated field like cMyCalc = "this is " & myfield
the result is 'this is me'
when you then change the formula, cMyCalc = "this is " & yourfield
the result is automatically recalculated through all of the records, 
resulting in 'this is you'
