    Is there a way to auto-populate one field with the same data for each record?

    Hello,



    I have an Access 2010 database I am building and I would like to have the same value auto-populate into the one particular field for each new each record, so the users do not have to always type it in or use a drop-down menu via a combo box to bring it up. Is there a way to do that?

    Thanks,
    Eva Marie

    Set the default value property of the field or control on the form.
