to control source.

I need to input same data to textbox then every time i

field to the value of that field in the last saved record.

Add something like...

StudentID.DefaultValue="'" & StudentID & "'"

to the after update event of the textbox.

trying to understand how this works

when i go to new record, how do i input same record
without doing anything?

example:
from the Form txtStuID-box
record(1), i enter 000001 to txtStuID then enter
record(2), I want same 000001 to be recorded on StudentID
field

If your textbox bound to the StudentID field is called txtStuID then in this
textbox's after update event you add...

txtStuID.DefaultValue="'" & txtStuID & "'"

This sets the default value for the textbox txtStudID to the last value,
hence when a new record is next created it will contain the new default
value. You need to surround the text with quotes, hence the "'" & bits.
