create table and specify a default value

Is it possible to create the customer table and specify a default
value?

Here is the SQL code I am using in MS Access.

CREATE TABLE customer
(First_Name char(50),
Last_Name char(50),
Address char(50) default 'Unknown',
City char(50) default 'Mumbai',
Country char(25),
Birth_Date date)

Thanks!,

See:
http://allenbrowne.com/func-DDL.html#CreateTableDDL

The example illustrates using DEFAULT.
Note that it executes under ADO.

I want my users to be able to select a report, click on a command button on a form, which will then automatically create the report as a pdf file and save it to the user's machine.

I have a table with about 80 fields. I'm using an import process to populate the table. It works fine, except for the following: Users generally don't specify values for a lot of numerical fields on the spreadsheet. I set the Access table up so that all the numerical values would have a default value of zero. I thought that when the record was appended to the table that the numerical fields that do not have values would be...
