Default how to set a certain format

The job number is already assigned ahead of time.
Perfect! Put it in a table.

I'll bet the lot number is already assigned ahead of time too!! So put it in
a table also.

You can then use a combobox to select the job number and another combobox to
select the lot numer. Once you have these, you can concatenate the two of
them with a space between them.

Viola!!! Your combined job number and lot number gets entered uniformly
one-hundred percent of the time!!!!!

The job number is already assigned ahead of time. It follows the job from
department to department. I have a field on my form where the job number
gets entered and I just want to make sure that the way it gets entered is
uniform, i.e. the space between the job and the lot #.

number he selects the job number from a combo box based on the job table.
