How to set Default field values

[Brad Farrell]

I've got a small VB .Net application. The user clicks on the "add New"
button on the tool strip to add a new record. Then they enter the data and
save. Pretty straightforward. I'm trying to find a way to set some default
field values. I've tried loading the field.Text value, but that doesn't
appear to work.

Wondering if there is a simple way or if I need to get into the datasource
after the adding of the new record and load the data fields directly.

thanks.

are you refering to datagrid control?

No. I have a series of text fields that are bound using the binding source
to the data itself. Then the navigator toolstrip is used to allow the user
to navigate the dataset.
