set text box default value to be the current value

[tnriverfish]

I've got a text box on a form where the default value shows - C:/
The user can change the default to whatever they want - D:/
I'd like to put a button next to the field that will change the default
from C:/ to D:/ so the next time the form is opened D:/ is showing.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Charlie

Hi Charlie

Put all your default settings in a table and populate controls with these on
loading the form.

Your defaults table only needs to be a couple of fields - one for the name
of the default and say a text field to carry the default setting. Text field
is good cause you can put anything in it.

Add a DLookup in the Loan event of the form to populate the default value of
the control.

The button on the form can be set to change the default - maybe toggling
between the two values.
