Hi Amit,

You can do this using workflow rules.

 Here is doc for creating workflow.

Use field action on workflow. Here is the doc to creating field action.

Hope this helps.

Hi Amit,
Create a formula field 'accountspecification' of Apprpriate DataType that you need(very few Options are available like Date,Currency,text,Number,percent,etc).

In step 3/5 : Set Just SicDesc in Formula, which is your Standard field (only SicDesc in Formula)

and its Done.... Easy and best
