Set Default Values in Microsoft Access Table w/ VBA
With a Microsoft Access Form, I have 4 text boxes for the user to enter their Name, Department, Title, and Manager Name.
Using VBA, I want to take each of those 4 values and set the default values of 4 fields in a table. The form that opens up is not bound to the table for which I want to set up the default values for.

OR ... just
Me.Text1 = "YourDepartmentName"
and so on ... if you just want to hard code these values. The first post 'looks up' values from a table.

Actually, I am using ADO (which I forgot to mention in the original post). Here is a snippet of the ADO/SQL code that I used to accomplish this task.
Dim str1 As String
Dim strDblQuote1 As String
Dim strDblQuote2 As String
strDblQuote1 = """"
strDblQuote2 = """"
str1 = "ALTER TABLE StartingNumberTable ALTER COLUMN [LeadAuditor] CHAR (50) Default " & strDblQuote1 & strLeadAuditor & strDblQuote1
cnCon.Execute str1

strDblQuote1 = """"
strDblQuote2 = """"
str1 = "ALTER TABLE StartingNumberTable ALTER COLUMN [LeadAuditor] CHAR (50) Default " & strDblQuote1 & strLeadAuditor & strDblQuote1
cnCon.Execute str1

Anyway ... you can use DLookup() to do this ... and probably in the Form Load event, or possibly from a New Record button ...
Me.Text1 = DLookup("[Field1]","[YourT
