Default Default Value from Another Table

How do I set a default value for one field with a value from a field in
another table, if the second value is selectable? In other words, the value
for field Directors.programs is user-selectable. How do I make the user
selection in this field the default value for Programs.directors?

Does this make any sense?

Thanks!

Hi Molly,

you cannot do this at the table level -- you have a lot more control
when you use forms to enter data.

Warm Regards,
