    you can do this as follows:

    On the country field after update event:

    Private sub Country_AfterUpdate()
    If me.Country="India"
    me.YourFieldHere.Value=400
    end if
    If me.Country="uk"
    me.YourFieldHere.Value=200
    end if

    End Sub

    Validation of data rules is checking and are used for data validity in a tables, not to decide the condition what is entered and gives the desired results. It will enable you to not save the data if it breaks any validation rules or routines.
