RE: Formulas

Hi John,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

As far as I am concerned you cannot set the default value of a new field in a table to display the contents of another field.

However, if you create a form based on the table, you can insert a text box and set the control source to be a field from one of the Tables in your database.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon
