Default Default Value on Continuous Form

In Access 2007 I have a continuous form on which I have an unbound text box
that defaults it's value using a dlookup, however, it's not working properly.
It seems that the value is always defaulting to the first records value. If
I manually change it - all records change. Is this because it is "Unbound"?
I'm fairly new to Access so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Default Default Value on Continuous Form

Suzanne,

Yes, that exactly why it is changing. The field would have to *bound*,
thereby attaching it to a record to not update all the same fields in a
continuous form. I gather you are not wanting to *store* that DLookup
value. Please explain what you trying to accomplish and there might be a
solution that gets you what you want.

"Unbound"?
If it is 'unbound' then no records are changing as it is not seeing data
form any records.
What do you want to do with this 'unbound' text box?
What purpose is it suppose to serve?
