I am preparing a document with about 30 pictures. I want to apply the same curve to all pictures, all at one time if I can. Can anyone tell me an easy way do this (easier than applying the curves one picture at a time)? Thanks for the help.

Record an action doing your curves settings to one pic.
Then with automate menu, play your action back on entire folder of pictures.
You can also save/load a curve, but I don't guess this would even need to come into play for this purpose.

Thanks Mac. Would I have to open Photoshop, open up every image one on top of each other and then apply the Actions to all... or is there an easier way? Thanks again.
And on a side note, I see where to Save/Load a curves setting, but when would that be appropriate. Would I send that curves setting to a printer and have them apply to all pictures?

Once you have your action done, you can save it and use it in Automate>Batch. Give the actions a name like "Gordon's Actions" and save the action in a new "Set" with your name. When you come to "Automate" it'll have your folder in it with your action. If you select folder and redirect/destination the action to it, PS will do everything for you and you can have a beer while it's working.

See Mark's follow.
Just have all the images you want to modify in the same folder and run the saved action on that.
Pay attention to the output directory and file naming. Best to not overwrite the files you are modifying. Actually best to make a backup of them somewhere else just in case.
