Is it possible to have the FIRST value (default on first entry only)in a control on a form be different than the rest of the values that will be entered for the same control?
This part of the form is a sub-form and linked with with the main form with an autonumber. The mainform has Autonumber - Date - Shift- Machine Operator and Product being run. The subform is in datasheet view and needs to remain open during the 12 hour period, adding many line entries during the period - then the form will be closed when the new shift comes in for them to begin their 12 hour activity.
I need a form that when first opened, will have 7:30 AM (can skip the AM/PM stuff) hard-coded in the "StartTime" control; then before the form is closed at the end of a shift, the "EndTime" needs to be hard-coded to 7:30. This will hopefully help the operators not to skip any time periods.
My subform will have a "StartTime" control and an "EndTime" control (as well as YardsRun and DowntimeCode). There will be several entries for a 12 hour time period. We are trying to capture downtime versus production time for each shift.
Also, I need succeeding StartTime to default to the Previous EndTime (but only after the first entry)
How can I create my form to do what is needed? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

EXAMPLE:
[ul][li]StartTime EndTime DowntimeCode YardsRun[/li][li]7:30 8:45 25 0[/li] [li]8:45 9:10 Blank 2000[/li][li]9:10 9:20[/li] etc., etc. etc, until the shift is over 12 hours later.Also, I need succeeding StartTime to default to the Previous EndTime (but only after the first entry)
