I have a form that includes 4 text boxes for entry of a City. Most of the time, the City for all 4 boxes will be the same, so I would like to know how to copy the entry made in City box 1 to City Boxes 2, 3 and 4 automatically, yet preserve my ability to change the entires automatically made in City Boxes 2, 3 and 4.
 
Hi,

You can use the SetValue action from within a Macro or set the default
value of each textbox control equal to "City box 1" (may work).

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.

Thanks! Setting the default value did not work, but using the SetValue action in a macro did the trick
