Const in Default Value
Eduardo Benaim

If I have A Global Const MyServer = "10.0.0.10"  

How do I put it in the "Default value" for a Field in a Form?

Apparently you can not put a Global Constant or Variable there.

Remember you making comments about it and had a solution. cant remember

Add an unbound text box to your form (as an example, I'm naming it txtServer) then add this to the On Load event of the form.

txtServer = MyServer

Since Constants cannot be changed I would also lock the text box.

Yes but txtServer =  MyServer  & "\Docs\Document"   Does not work

What doesn't work?
Are you getting an error?

'Does not work' doesn't tell us anything.

Is this in a public module or a form module?

Nevermind... I just re-read your question. What you're trying to do won't work. You can't use a VBA variable or constant in the default value property of a field. You can do it in code, but not directly. I'd recommend using a TempVars value. This would actually make a good tip video. Give me an hour.

Yeah, I'm using TempVars a lot in my current database for user logons. Before it was always a Public variable in a module which is how I started this database until any errors generated cleared the variables and I had to go through the login process each time. Not a problem now I've switched to TempVars.
