No, it didn't. It only works while the form is opened.

If you want the default to carry over to the next opening of the form
you have to save the control's default setting. One way is to save the
settings into a table - use the forms Unload event procedure.

CREATE TABLE DefaultSettings (
FormName Text(255) Not Null ,
ControlName Text(255) Not Null ,
DefaultValue Text(255) Not Null ,
CONSTRAINT PK_DefaultSettings PRIMARY KEY (FormName,ControlName)
)

When the form opens load the default settings into the controls
..DefaultValue property from the table.

I'm sorry. I don't understand what you are saying to do. Do I put the text
below into the upload event?

CREATE TABLE DefaultSettings (

FormName Text(255) Not Null ,
ControlName Text(255) Not Null ,
DefaultValue Text(255) Not Null ,
CONSTRAINT PK_DefaultSettings PRIMARY KEY (FormName,ControlName)
)
