Default Question

[pas926]

In a text box I want a large single page contract style text to always be the
default when the user starts a new record. This text is usually modified.
I know how to enter simple default values but not something like a page of
text. Any help is appreciated in advance. Thanks, Paul

One possibility is to store the default text in a memo field in a table
(possibly a table in which you store various application configuration
options), and set the DefaultValue property of the text box to a DLookup
expression that returns the value from that field of the table. For
example,

=DLookup("DefaultContract", "tblProfile")
