auto enter first value in pop-up list

[concrete]

hello,

I have a pop-up list with a value list

The first value of that list should be entered automaticly (because 90% of the time that is the needed value).

but the field is always blanco to start with

could save me a lot of time

thx

Hi concrete,

Go to Define Fields, select the field, hit options, Auto Enter - Check "Data" , type in the value you want in the box.

Hi,

When you define field's, you can go into the options for that field and set the auto enter data to whatever value you would like.

Now, when you create a new record, that field is populated with the data

For a non-static value list, use the auto-enter calculated restault.

Use the ValueListItems(dbname, valuelistname ) function. Then auto enter the first line from that.
