Default |
The Default property of a data entry control specifies the default reply for that control.
The default reply is set on the Data Entry property page for a specified control. Options for the Default property include the following:
Use Data Source: When the control is linked to a data source that is not embedded data, the data source value is used as the default reply for the control. This option is chosen automatically once the control is linked to the data source and no other options are available.
Use Sample Data: Uses the sample data specified on the Data Source tab of the Data Source Properties dialog for the linked data source. This dialog is accessible by clicking the Data Source Properties button on the Linked Data Source property page for the data entry control.
Update sample data after print: When enabled, specifies that the Sample Data on the Data Source tab is updated to the last reply entered for the data entry control. Subsequently, when the form is again displayed, the updated Sample Data is used as the new default reply. Available when Use Sample Data has been selected for the Default option.
Use Specified Value: Uses the data that you supply as the default reply for the control.

Remember value for next time: When enabled, specifies that the last reply entered for a data entry control is used as the new default reply when the form is next displayed by the same user. Available when Use Specified Value has been selected for the Default option.
