Hello. I am looking for a way to make a field value automatically default to
the value of the immediate prior field. For example, I am in record 11, and
in Field "City" I type "New York." When I create record 12, I want
City to automatically default to "New York." Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
I would like to create a Default Value for a field in my DB that uses the another field data as the default entry.

I thought that it might be that you set the Default Value to 1 by typing "1" in the bit where it says "Default Value" at the bottom of the page. But this doesn't seem to work. :o

I have two Numeric fields in my Table, MCRefill and MCTot.
Actually MCtot is the sum of all MCRefill for a given Cust_ID
I have the following expression in the Default value of MCtot in my form showing both the fields
DSum("[MCRef]","Miracle_Cloth_Main","[Cust_ID]='" & [Cust_ID] & "'")
Somehow it doesn't up in the record when you load the Last record for a Cust_ID
Can someone please help ?
Hi Guys.
I have a look-up field in a table that looks-up a range of values from another table. How do I set a default value for the field? I have tried entering in numbers as default values (IE the ID numbers for the records that are being looked up) but that doesnt work.
I have a form that is designed from one table. In this form I want one field to have the default value of a different field only if the one field has a value entered.
I've tried in the default value tab to enter =IIF([different field] is null,"",[different field]) nothing happens when I enter a value into the "different field".
Can I make the default value of a field be something in another field in another table. I tried to enter into the default value the following but, it does not find the field.
[tablename].[fieldname] I also tried it [fieldname].[tablename].
I have a List box set to YES and default value set to YES.I would like to hide this field and when I click SAVE in my form, I would like to save it to my table.I did set the control source to the field that I want but somehow it is not working unless if I click on to YES then save.How do I set it in such a way which will save even without me clicking on to the LIST BOX?I want the default value to be saved when I click SAVE command button.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a multivalue field based off of URL... I am getting my values from a different table from within the database. My issue is that I tried to create a default value for the lookup field but it made another selection within the lookup field.
Example:
Reference Table Values are:
Name 1
Name 2
Field referencing table with my defined default value:
Name 1
Name 2
Name 1
High all.
I would like to know how to set a fields default value on a table.
Eg - i have a Yes/No field that and i want the default value to be set to 'Yes'.
I cant use the front end application because the form its on is a generic form used by about 30 other tables.
At present it is not set to anything and so always defaults to 'No' on the form.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have a user who would like the value from the last entry into the form's title field text box to show as the default value when he clicks on enter new issue button to bring up a new record. I do not know if this is possible but I thought I would check for him.
How can I set the default value equal to the value in the previous record?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a membership database. A number of members go by their middle names or a nickname rather than their first name. I need to keep track of their real full names, but I want the new-record default of the preferred name field to equal the contents of the first name field. How do I set this in the table design? The table already has 1400 records, and it would be quite a job to manually copy each first name to the preferred name field, a job I would rather avoid.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi there
I've tried to change the default of a yes/No field so that it's either NUll or "" or Yes. This has proved unsuccessful and all the fields are still showing as No for default unless I obviously select Yes
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the Default of this field to either Yes or so that there is Null?
thanks for any help!
Hello,
MS Access 2000 sp3
When adding a new record to an order file, I have a default value on the ordnum field. It also has a format = "9999-999". The default value is "0603-".
When the user clicks on the new rec nav button, the form has the correct default in the ordnum field "0603-". However, when the user trys to key in the remaining 3 digit sequence number (.i.e. result 0603-123), the default value disappears as soon as the use startes to type the first character. The table source is a query that links the order table to the customer table via cust num. When i use only the order table as the form source, this works ok, no issues but i see this issue when i am using a query joining two tables.
Does anyone have any ideas why or how I can correct this?
Thanks!!

Hi,
I have a query which returns 1 value (The description associated with the maximum ID in the table).
I have a Text box on a form and I would like the default value of the text box to be the the value from the above query.
I have tried to build an expression using the expression builder by selecting the query and the field that I am interested in, in that query but I can't seem to get it working.
Could anyone please advise how I can assign a result from a query to the default value of a field on a form.
Many Thanks
I am doing a project for school. I would like to make the default value in one field (available or rented) to be "rented" if the value in a field in another table is null. Is there an "easy" way to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a query that simply pulls back each tenant from a tenant table. Each row has a bit field that I use for check box's. This check box is true or false depending on the balance they owe. I currently use it to print off late reports and people that have this field set to true have a check box that auto populates on my datasheet.
I copied the query but I want to change it a little. I want to be able to show all tenants, but I want the bit field to show on my datasheet defaulted to checked for everyone (even if the table shows false) so that I can print all tenants without having to check the fields that are false in my table.
I tried to create an expression instead of using the bit field, but I no longer have the option to make that column into a "Check Box" under Lookup-Display Control.
Is there a way to use the date entered in one field in a table as the default date on another field in the same table?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy access db is used to compile payroll time records bi weekly. The Work Hours table is used to hold two weeks of time records then they are archived to a history table. Each week has its own week ending date. I have been updating the default value of the week ending manually in the table field property in the table's design view. Is there a way to have a macro update this default value?
The current process is, open table in design view, update week ending default value, enter payroll time then change default value again for second week ending, enter payroll time. Report hours to accountant, archive table to history table.
We have created a program with Access and we have all our records in it. We created a field and we need to find a way to have all our existing records use default information to automatically populate that field.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of the fields on my form has ID field (can input either number, text, or both). It looks unprofessional when I am printing reports for ID because some are blank. How can I make that field to have automatic "N/A" when the field is blank? I put ="N/A" as Default Value but no use.
