Default value in menu box

[RudyMadsen]

I've created a form with several fields. One of them is a menu dropdown box
with an indication of what year. I get the options from a table in my database.
Now I want to set a default value in my menu box, which selects the current
year, and off course save the correct value in the database. How to do that or
is there an alternative way to do it? /Rudy

You have to create your form using the Insert Record Wizard, and also
make sure you select the year field to Display as "Menu", and when
configuring the Menu Properties, you have to fill in the Default Value
textfield (use the lightning icon - the Dynamic Data selector) to select
your field from the recordset that holds the right value)
