I need to have the state already in forms every time the are filled out. I
have it on my form as a blank text box.

I tried putting in the default of the properties like I did on the table,
but it did not show up in the form view.

Thanks

Default values apply only to new Records. Are you expecting it to fill in
existing Records with the particular Field Null?

No, this is a new db without any records. So, I should try it again in the
default property - then fill in a test record?
