Hello. I'm sure this is an easy one, but I can't seem to figure it out. I
have a form based on a table with only a few fields. When the users enter data they will enter a number of records at a time. When they click on the Add Record button they would like 2 of the fields to automatically fill in with the previous records' values and be able to type over them if possible. Is there a way to do this? |

See:
Carry current value of a control to new records at: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0012.htm Or, if you want to carry all the field values over: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-24.html -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

Sorry, I'm confused. I don't know alot of coding and the code at the below
site makes no sense to me. Does this work if the control is a bound field to a table?

You need to create a form to achieve this.
The form will be bound to the table. The text boxes on the form will be bound to the fields of the table. You can then set the Default Value of the text boxes on the form, so that they default to the last entry you made. If you know no VBA code and don't know how to make a form, then you probably can't do this yet. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.
