I'm trying to programmatically set a textbox's default value with a variable
and it won't work. Here's the example given in the help menu:

Me("text92").DefaultValue = """default value"""

Why do you need 3 quotes on either side of the string?

How do i replace the "default value" with a variable? What syntax should i
use?
 
Me("text92").DefaultValue = Chr(34) & strVariable & Chr(34)

The quotes are needed since the DefaultValue property is a string property.
