    Can a form field's default value be set to be that of the previous record?

    I have a database for storing info related to historic basketball scores. The data entered is often taken from newspapers and thusly there will be 3 or 4 fields that will have the same value for several consecutive entries (things like game date, paper name, page #).


    I have a form for entering this data and would like to set some of these fields to default to the value from the previous entry....is this possible?
