RE: default value in Access

Hi sabine,

Thankyou for your question

The key here is how your users log into the system.

I assume they have their own windows accounts. If this is the case, then is this the value you wish returned.

Alternatively, do they have unique logins for the database. If this is the case then do you wish this data to be captured?
Thanks

Stephen

Access tip:

Deleting duplicate records from a table

You cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table.

1. Use a make-table query based on this table only. IMPORTANT - Ensure that you include all of the fields from your original table or you may loose data.

2. Open the query's property sheet by using VIEW, QUERY, PROPERTIES, and set the Unique Values property to Yes

3. Because you have selected the Unique Values to Yes when you run the query, Access creates a new table without duplicate records. You can now delete the old table and rename the new one.
