I've almost completed my form for my Paramedic and EMT class, but I have another simple question.
How does one start a new record with all the values = 0 as an integer.

I would like my unbound and bound fields to actually display a 0 in the field upon a new record, and for the records that have been created, say I pull that back up through a search, to display 0's once again in just the unbound boxes.
Is there a onload command that I can devise for the form?

Set the Default value of the Control to 0

HTH

Hrmm, Yes, I have tried this but there are no 0's displayed.

The default value of a control displays when you start a new record. If you need to display them at another time you will need to cycle through the controls and set the value.

Ok, Maybe I am not asking the right question.

I have a set of unbound text boxes that i want to display 0 until I enter a number into them.
I want the default to actually be 0 and display a zero, not just be zero as a default.

So in essence, I want the text boxes to "Display" the zero when a new record starts, and when the old record is retrieved.

Im using these text boxes for math essentially.
For instance: OnLoad
A1 = 0
A2 = 0
A3 = 0
Atotal = 0
I want this to be displayed in the boxes until I enter a value
So if I enter
A1 = 1
A2 = 0
A3 = 0
ATotal = 1 (and ATotal is also a bound box from the Table)

Any Ideas ?

Strange, bugger works now.

Thanks

Accept the numbers stay in the unbound box when I start a new record.

Default values may only work for bound controls. You might have to explicitly reset the unbound controls in the On Current event.

How do I do that in the on Current ?
