Any way to populate table fields by dragging down values from previous record?

26 New Member
I need to know if in Access 2007 tables or datasheets, or some other "view" if there is a way to enter a value in the field for one record and then dragging down that value into the same field for other records. Like you can drag down cell values in Excel to populate cells in other rows.

In Form view you can set the DefaultValue property of the relevant control in the AfterUpdate event procedure of the form. Otherwise, it's not really Excel. There are some situations where a multi-line paste will work, but many where it won't. Not something to rely on.
