    Default Value

    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]. Any suggestions as to wheter this is possible or not would be appreciated.

    Not that I know of. I tried DFirst and DLookup but those functions are not recognized.

    Would need code to set the DefaultValue property.

    Why do you need this?
