Carry Field Forward

Hi, I'm sure this has been asked and answered before but I lost it.
How does one code a form to carry forward the only certain fields from
the previous record. Thanks.

For each field you want to carry forward, put the following code in the
AfterUpdate event of the field:
Me!NameOfField. DefaultValue = Me!NameOfField

I'm not that good at explaining what I mean. When I enter a new
record a new date (today) goes in the DateField, now when I tab to the
description_fie ld I want get the description from the previous record.
Does this make sense. Thanks again.

Do you have any other fields in the record?

Put the following code in the form's OnCurrent event:

If IsNull(Me!Descr iption.DefaultV alue) Then
Me!Description. SetFocus
Else
Me!Distance.Set Focus
End If

Put the following code in the Description Field's AfterUpdate Event:
Me!Description. DefaultValue = Me!Description

Put the following code in the Distance Field's AfterUpdate Event:
Me!NameOfDateFi eld = Date()
Me!Description. DefaultValue = Me!Description

Set the tab stop for the Date field to No, and the tab order to Description -
Distance.

When you go to a new record, if the Description field does not have a default
value, you will go to the Description field and enter the description. If it
does have a default value, you will go to the Distanct field and enter the
distance. The Date field and Description field will automatically be filled in
when you press enter, go to another record, go to a new record or close the
form.

I need to send emails to about 100 people for a client - NOT spam. Rather it is a notifying them of a page they need to view. majorDomo - look stoo complicated to get up and running and I don't want them to email it back abd get everyone's emails replies - so this option is out. The options are: - use php mail() and run it several times with 250 emails in the BCC field each time
