Default Missing Data-Datestamp & Default Numbers

Morning, we have a database which tracks Leave. I have a Datestamp
field which enters the date and time of the entry, plus 4 hour fields
which are defaulted to zero. Plus I have a field that records what PC
entered the data, compterrname. However, when we moved to Access
2007, using Access 2003 data these fields no longer show any entry,
they are all blank. You have to enter zero and a number for the 4
fields to get the other reports ect. to work right?

Any suggestions. Thanks

07 does not have an auto 0 as the default for a number field. but you can
set it to do so.

when you say that it "no longer shows data"...that is a bit
disconcerting....a leading 0 that appears in a text defined field, will
disappear if it is changed to a number defined field: i.e. 00005 in a text
field will change to 5 in a number field. not sure if that is germain to
your situation or not....

Default Missing Data-Datestamp & Default Numbers

Thanks, I'm sorry... we are running Access in the 2003 Compatibility
format. And on the Table I have the Date Entry field default
setting : =Now() ; The number fields default settings = 0; and for the
Computer Name I have that setting =Environ(ComputerName).

Does that help?

Thanks again

Found an article that on a form you need to set the default there in
the fields properties for 2007. I did that and now I get the 0 for
each leave type as a default. Thanks
