In the AfterUpdate event of the relevant field use the following code:
if nz(me.[fieldname] , "") = "" then
me.[fieldname] = "Active"
end if
This will ill the field with 'Active' if the field is blank or null.

they want to insert "active" after the field is filled in.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines]??? Do you want to assign it a default value "Active" so users will overwrite
it if needed, or do you want it to insert "Active" in the field after theThanks
Thanks for your help, but I must be missing something.
I put the code in and still nothing.
here is what I have:
Private Sub txtReason_AfterUpdate()
If Nz(Me![txtReason], "") = "" Then
Me![txtReason] = "Active"
End If
End Sub

This code will fill in the txtReason textbox with the word "Active" if the
user updates it from some non-blank value to a blank.
I'm sure that's not your intent, but it's not quite clear what your intent is!
Under what circumstances do you want the textbox txtReason to be filled in
with the word "Active"?
Thanks for the reply,
this is the beginnings of a database to track patients in a medical study,
the idea was that in a box which listed the care, (discharge, unknown, death,
etc..) if this was blank, the text box would fill with the word "Acitve".
Still not doing what we need.
Not sure if we want to do this in a querey or on the form itself.
It is a Cbo box, sorry may fault there.
John W. Vinson said:Simply set its DefaultValue property to "Active" in that case.
