I want to insert data from FieldA into FieldB through the Default Value. Is
this possible?

For example, in FieldA I have usernames, and in FieldB I want the Default
Value to be something like <img src="folder\username.jpg"> where username
is taken from FieldA.
 
No. The default value is evaluated before you begin entering the record. It
follows that it cannot reflect an entered value.

Use the AfterUpdate event of FieldA on your form to assign the value of
FieldB.
 
I was going about things completely backwards for some reason... I just ran
an update query on it, which makes a lot more sense than whatever I was
thinking...
