Default Value Not Working

[Robert_DubYa]

I'm working with a co-workers DB and I'm trying to get default values to
populate in the text box. I can put something very easy in as a default for
the text box like:

="Test"

that does not even work. Any suggestions?

thanks,
Robert

Hello Robert.

I'm working with a co-workers DB and I'm trying to get default values
to populate in the text box. I can put something very easy in as a
default for the text box like:

="Test"

that does not even work. Any suggestions?

Are you working in a form? Are you looking at a new record?
A default value for a bound textbox affects only the new record.
