default values in controls

[nevinx]

I have a form where I set up all the controls (text boxes) with a default
value. The only way to get the default values to show up is by pushing
ctr-alt-space while the box is selected. Is there a way to get all the
default values to fill in automatically?

The default values will only populate the record when there is a new record to
populate - i.e. when you "dirty" the record by putting SOMETHING in some (any)
field in the record.
