Prefill a field
I'm not sure how to word the question other than to give an example of the
the issue I'm having. I have a subform based on table with beginning odometer reading and ending odometer reading. When I start a new record, I would like the ending odometer reading from the previous record to 'prefill' rather than having to re-type the same information. Perhaps I totally designed the form incorrectly, but the only information I have to input includes beginning and ending info. Anyone have any suggestions?

You could try storing ONLY the ending reading and use DLookup() to only display the previous reading. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com

Use the form After Update event to assign the DefaultValue property of the
beginning OD number based on the current value of the ending OD number. "katanagirl" wrote in message ...
