I'm trying to programically set the value for several controls on a
form. When the code runs, Access returns the error message 'You can't
assign a value to this control.' However, when I use the exact same
statements via the Immediate Window, the control values are set without
any error messages being thrown. Any ideas as to what's going on?

Duh! I was useing (basically)

Me![cboBillingMethod].DefaultValue = "Client"

When in fact it should have be

Me![cboBillingMethod].DefaultValue = Chr(34) & "Client" & Chr(34)

The other statements setting the DefaultValue worked because they deal
with integers.
