Making a field stay the same

[LG]

I have field in the form called Batch_Id the processor enters this when they
start each batch.
How do I make it so the that Field will not change and continue on to the
next form until changed. Once changed then I want it to copy the new one
going forward.

You can put code in the Batch_ID textbox's AfterUpdate event:

Private Sub Batch_ID_AfterUpdate()
Me!Batch_ID.DefaultValue = Chr(34) & Me!Batch_ID & Chr(34)
End Sub

The Chr(34) is a quotemark ", required since the default value property needs
to be a string.

I know this sounds silly but was does (chr34) stand for?
