Syncing Fields

I'm an intern working for the first time with Salesforce.com.  I'm trying to sync two contact fields between what I think are two objects (a parent object and a child object).  Ideally I would like to see if when a contact is added for the parent object, the child object to update the same contact field.  I'm not sure if that is possible in Salesforce.

 

Also if anyone knows of any good Salesforce beginner sites (for admin related stuff) or beginning formulas and has a link, I would be very grateful for the help.

 

Thank you very much,

Sounds like you may be able to use a cross-object formula field. With this, you can update the parent field (that could be a lookup to an contact) and then on the child record, the formula field would display this contact on the child.

 

Hope that helps,
