Hi Patti,
Just a guess. On the DB Edit Properties, under “Effects” there is a field call “Default Value”. Check to see what that is set to. I’m guessing that is how “Baltimore” is coming up as the default on the original field.

One of the fields is the client's city, so I sent it up as a DB edit field and it defaults to "Baltimore". Works fine, always did. When I "enter using formname", Baltimore is already in that field. Now I added some more questions to this form, one of them being client's significant-other city. I copied the client's city field and just changed the name of the database field. But even though it's set up to default to "Baltimore" - it doesn't. It is just blank when the form first appears on the screen, and also when the cursor hits that field. I can't imagine what the problem is. Any ideas? Thanks, Patti
