Autofill from previous record REPOST

This is a repost which I have not successfully resolved.

I followed the steps on the MS KB Article ID : 210236
and I had success but I must be doing something wrong when entering
THE TEXT BOX because when I start new record every field is autofill. My
goal is to have 1 field autofill.


From the text box step this is what I'm doing starting at step 6 of
Article ID : 210236

1. Tool bar select text box
2. Drag rectangle box enter AutoFillNewRecordFields in the label.
3. GoTo properties of the new text box and make Visible: No on the
Format Tab
4. Goto Data Tab and enter fieldname/names in the Default Value (not on the 3
dots of the Default Value).

I believe I'm following instructions properly but I guess not so I'm looking
for
help.
TIA

My question is there anyone ;who really has this working properly. If so
maybe is there any snags that I'm missing. I have created very simple
databases to test this on and with no success.
Please help
 
John:

You may want to make sure that your Step 2 is actually setting the Name
property of the textbox to "AutoFillNewRecordFields", not making the label
caption read as such.

I have tried this and it does work as outlined in the KB.
