Default values

message from =?Utf-8?B?Q1JBSUcgS0VMTFk=?= on 14 May 2004
I have lots of forms which contain quite a lot of data, the majority of the datain each record will be the same, how can I set the fields so that when I create a new record it is populated with the value from the previous record, I know I can set a default value in the table but considering how many fields I have it will take ages, can I do this globally?

A lot of my forms are linked to one main form by using subforms so when I create a new record it creates one for each form linked via the subform is there a way of copying the main form record so that it would copy all the subforms too? Lotus approach had this facility but i haven't found it on access as yet.

Any help is appreciated.
