Set Default Country & Update Empty Entries in Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, you'll learn how to modify the TechHelp free template to set the default country to USA for new records in the customer table. I'll guide you through updating existing records with null values for the country to USA, provided they already have a state specified. You'll see how to use an update query to efficiently change these records without affecting those with unknown countries. This simple yet effective technique helps streamline your database setup while maintaining clarity for US-based entries.
