Default Form Bound Text Box Default Value Property Versus Table Field Defa

Value Property

If I set a default value for a text box in a form field, is that the same as
setting a default value for a field in the table's design?

Default

If you enter the Default Value into the Field of the table, it is applied in
all interfaces where the record could be added.

If you enter the Default Value for the text box in the form only, then that
default value will not be applied if a record is added directly to a table
or via another form. There are a couple of cases where this is handy.
