Setting default values for database fields?

Post by wbrells »

Folks,

I'm using a TextMaker database for storing address information that can be used to print shipping labels. When adding a new contact to the database it would be very convenient if default values could be automatically assigned to some of the data fields (e.g. the return address). My question, then, is it possible to set default values for different database fields?

Thanks, Wayne

Please click on ribbon command Mailings | Edit database | select the database file which you want to edit | open | group Manage | Change structure | there you will find default value field in "Change table structure" dialog box.
