How to set default value for custom form?

EdwardBoesenberg

I would like to set a default value for a text field in a custom form. It looks like there is a place to set this in ArcPad Studio under the Values tab in Control Properties but that does not work. I looked in the help file and it says that it needs a "simple expression". What is a simple expression and can it be text?

The custom form is a manhole inspection form for sanitary sewers and is attached to this post.

Could you attach the shapefile associated with your applet? I'd like to test a default value using the shapefile you are using.

Were "" marks used? I would think a space would work as long as it's enclosed by quotes. The form stores results to a table doesn't it, similar to a database table? And I see a lot of combo boxes with default value set to "" or null. Maybe something elsewhere is over riding the new default your setting?

It seems the error has something to do with the space between the words Cast Iron, when I replaced the space with an "_" the error didn't occur but still NO default value set.

When I set the default valve I get the error below when I edit the form for an existing feature

Script Error 800A03EA
Syntax Error
[Line 1, Column 6]
Source Text Unavailable
Cast Iron

"Cast Iron" is the default value I have set for a field.

Has to, is the syntax right? Look up EDIT in help. Should work the same under EDITFORM.

I tried that it didn't work.

Maybe something like defaultvalue ="2" ?
