Hi,
By definition, a default value is only used at the moment something is
created. So, something like
Date() + #05:00:00#
should do, in the relevant default property.
Now, if you mean that EXISTING values, already saved, have a midnight time
value, and, for those, you wish to use 5AM instead, someone can use an iif:
DateValue(myDateTime) + iif(0 =TimeValue(myDateTime) , #05:00:00#,
TimeValue(myDateTime) )
Hoping it may help,
