99% of the time a Table-Field in a new record will be unchanged from the
previous (same key) record. I would like this Field value to repeat from record to record till changed by the input operator, but I find the Default Value property will not accept a Field value. How might I do this? Thanks wem3rd |

Please search for previous posts before adding a new thread. This is a
pretty common question... Copy value from previous record (Carry over) Use the AfterUpdate event of the control to set its Default Value. Details: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0012.htm An alternative approach is to use the BeforeInsert event of the form to copy the values from the last record: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-24.html -- Rick B "wem3rd" wrote in message ... 99% of the time a Table-Field in a new record will be unchanged from the previous (same key) record.

Rick,
Thanks for the URLs. My table's records are in sets that number into the hundreds. Each record set has its own field that rarely changesbut is unique to other sets. I will review previous posts. wem3rd "Rick B" wrote: Please search for previous posts before adding a new thread. This is a pretty common question...
