I would like a new field to have the default value to be the 2nd line of a
field on the same form.
 
If the first line contains information you need, and the second line
contains other information you need somewhere else, then the line 2
text/value should be in it's own field. Never store more than 1 value, or
piece of information, in a single field.

You can always concatenate the 2 fields whenever necessary.

Believe me... you'll go nuts trying to do what you suggest.
 
Your question is a little difficult to understand. First, there are no
fields on forms, fields are attributes of a table. If you mean text box
controls, then how do you know what a "second line" is? A text box contains
only one value.

We will be happy to help, but we need more detail.
 
Iam Sorry I have a text box that I would like the default to be the First
line from a combo box.
