    Repeating data in a field for a new record

    I have a form for entering Volunteer hours to collect statistics. The fields on the form are:



    Act_Date The date picked from a control calendar
    Volunteer A lookup field of volunteers name from the Volunteers table
    Act_Activity What the time was slent on
    Act_Hours The time spent

    While working on one volunteer, there may be several entries and I want to automatically fill in the volunteer name field in use when a new record is chosen. Is there a way to do that?

    Using Access 2002

    Thanks,
    Bill
