Replacing Field Contents

I don't know why this is eluding me, but right now I have two fields

field1 = number and field2 = number

Is there any easy way, for every new record, to have field1 set to the value for field2 from the previous record?

Assuming "previous record' means the last record in the table before you entered this one,

1. define an auto-enter serial number field called Serial

2. define a calculation field = Serial -1, called PrevSer

3. define a relationship, LookBack, from PrevSer to Serial.

4. use auto-enter in Field2 = LookBack::Field1
