Default Auto fill

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

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:

An alternative approach is to use the BeforeInsert event of the form to copy
the values from the last 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.
