  • default value on combo box

    Hi to you all,
    I want to assign a default value on a combobox in a form using one of the fields of the query that feeds the form.
    I tried to put in "default value" on combo box several combinations but they don't work:

    id_ausilio_lancette
    [q_maschera].id_ausilio_lancette
    [q_maschera]!id_ausilio_lancette
    =[id_ausilio_lancette]
    =[q_maschera]!id_ausilio_lancette

    How can I referr to a query field as default value?
    Other solutions?
    Thanks and regards

    Hi Remigio,

    How would you select the record in the query that feeds the form, to provide the field [id_ausilio_lancette] that will be the default for the combobox?
    Bear in mind that a default value appears when the form shows a "New (blank) record" at which point there is no source record for the form; id_ausilio_lancette will be null.
    What is the Row Source for the combobox?
    You could set the value of the combobox after a record has been created in the form.
