Hi,

I'm probably askin gthe obvious but I've been picking this
up and putting it down again so often that I can't see the
wood for the trees...

A very simple 4 field data entry form, first two fields
are drop down. The typw of data that is to be entered
will be in groups of similar records so I would like the
first two fields to have the DefaultValue set to the same
fields in the previous record. The ides is that the user
doesn't have to select the same items again and again.

Thanks,

ElT

From the data point of view, there is of course no concept of the previous
record.

On the other hand, if you just want the form to remember what the user did
last time, you can set the DefaultValue property of the control(s), in the
BeforeUpdate or AfterUpdate event...
