Hi :)
I seem to be given credit for doing a thorough investigation in the quoting.  
Obviously i'm not unhappy with that! lol.  The right person was thanked at the 
time but i can't remember who that was.  Several good names spring to mind.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom,

Thanks for  this thorough investigation of the behavior I described. I'm
glad it was  replicated. I don't think this problem is (for me anyway)
much of an  impediment, but I HAVE noticed other problems with default
values. To  wit: default values set up in the table designer, do not
appear in forms  when a new record is created and the table field is
linked to list box.  The list box display remains blank. This happens if
the default value is  in the table, OR if it's set in the list box
properties. Neither has any  effect in the form, not even when the
table/view browser (press F4 to  get this) is active.

Known behaviour, and this is actually currently by  design (well it was
designed by the people at Oracle). The table/field  creation
functionality does not transmit default values to the  underlying
database, you are supposed to use a corresponding form for this  and
define the default there rather than at the database level. This  was
done because it was felt it was too difficult (i.e. developer  time
intensive) for OOo to be able to manage all of the possible  driver
return handling for all of the various possible database connections  out
there. However, it does appear that even the form based default  setting
of values does not work as intended, i.e. the values are not  necessarily
passed from the form to the underlying db...File a bug, if you  like, but
I'm pretty sure one has been filed  already.
