What is 'Fetch Defaults' for?

Out of curiosity, I tried to check the help file for the property 'Fetch
Defaults' to see what it is for. No surprise, it is not mentioned. F1 on the
property give nothing. A search of MS knowledge base is equally unhelpful.

Can anyone explain what this new property in 2003 is for?

it will find the defaults when you open a form. If the defaults for a
control are rather complex then it may pay to set this to false and I can
think of some other reasons too.

What defaults? The default settings for a control? Wouldn't that mean that
any settings made, such as colors etc would be lost if it reset everything
on the form to default settings? Why would you use this?

And why isn't such as basic property in the help file?

A lot of questions but I am interested in why such a powerful property is
not documented?

I believe (could be wrong) that it is used to get the properties for a bound
field and apply them to the control.

I suppose, if you changed a field's properties after creating a form, you
could use this to update the control?

From the help file:
Returns or sets a Boolean indicating whether Microsoft Access shows default
values for new rows on the specified form before the row is saved. True if
Access shows the default values for new rows on the specified form.
Read/write.

I believe this means that when you go to a new record, the default values
for the fields (if any) will be shown, otherwise they are applied when the
field is saved if you've left the field blank.

Thanks everyone.

After Wayne's comment I went back to the help file. Nothing comes up looking
for FetchDefaults, but if you lookup the form object and then it's
properties (don't ask me why I didn't try this slant before) you will get
some help, though a little vague.

Hi Jeff,

It's in the VBA help. If you open the VBA window and then search on
FetchDefaults (no space between the words) it should show up.

I am using the fetch command from the imaplib to fetch messages. I get a result, but I am a bit uncertain as to how I should interpret it.

I'm having a problem that I can't seem to find any solution for online. I'm using a cursor in a cobol program to fetch some data. I know for a fact that the select should return 2 rows. The fetch works as I would expect it to on the 2 rows, but then when I do my next fetch, the program ends abnormally. My next step is to check for sqlcode 100, as I would expect it to be, but my program never even gets to this step.
