For MOST fields:
- cursor into the field you want to default
- right-click, select customization
- select defaults, or learned values
This method relies on a Paradox database which lives on the front-end rather than the back-end: it can get corrupted and must be re-applied periodically; it can get oujt of synch with the back-end
A FEW other fields can have defaults set from the Ellipse database. These fields are listed on the SF table. The defaults are applied via mso051. This method generally does not work on MSQs.
