There is no automatic function for updating the many file when the related
one-field changes.  You must write a script more-or-less as follows:

(Place it in the [Company]CompanyName field and set the Only if Modified flag)

relate many([Company]CompanyName)
$new:=[Company]CompanyName
apply to selection([People];[People]Company := $new)



that's it.
