When on the master detail page, If I Click Add New the form is blank. I would like some of the values on the master Detail page to automatically populate into the Add New page. I assume this is done thourgh the default values but not sure how to go about it. Thanks for your help.

Brad,
here is how you can do this.

  1. Use OnLoad event of detail table to populate session variables with values from master table.
    Sub ListOnLoad()

    set rstmp = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

    rstmp.open "select * from MasterTable where MasterTablePrimaryKey = " & SESSION(strTableName & "_masterkey1"), dbConnection
    Session("MasterField1") = rstmp("MasterField1")

    Session("MasterField2") = rstmp("MasterField2")
    rstmp.close : set rstmp = nothing
    End Sub


2. Now you can use Session("MasterField1") and Session("MasterField2") as default values.
Make sure you replace names in bold with real table and field names.
