Value not showed in a form

[spa856]

Dear

my situation:

1. Main form F_RICERCA
2. Sub Form F_ELENCO
3. Button Istanza on the right

If I click on the button it opens the correct form, linked to my client, it seems all is ok but I have an issue with this field:

I set as default value on the table T_ISTANZA the value "N" for ISTANZA_CREATA, but the form dosn't show it as N
If I put into one of the fields a value it shows the value N.
It is a problem for me because I create a VBA code for the current event where if the field is equal to N the label Gestione Istanza is Create Istanza, otherwise Gestione Istanza. After the click it change value to Y and it works.
Do you have any ideas?
thank you

Default value is only for new records?

agree with Gasman - you need to update your existing records where the field is null (or a zls depending on your settings) to N or Y as required.

alternatively modify the code that does this

if the field is equal to N the label Gestione Istanza is Create Istanza

to

if the field is equal to N or null the label Gestione Istanza is Create Istanza

usual way to do this

if nz(myfield,"N")="N" then

In the table the value is N, only in the forms it blank.
If I put any values on the form, the field shows N (see screen): I put Modulo, and the field is equal to N and the label is Create Istanza.
I don't understand the reason.

better show your code since label captions don't change unless you use code

This is the code on current event of the subform.
This code works if I edit some information in the form, but when I open the form for the first time the field is empty till I edit some information.

Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim edit As String
Dim add As String

add = "Creare Istanza"
edit = "Gestione Istanza"
If Me.ISTANZA_CREATA = "N" Then
Me.Label15.Caption = add
Else
Me.Label15.Caption = edit
End If
End Sub

Here the code on click

Private Sub Label15_Click()
If Me.ISTANZA_CREATA = "N" Then
Me.ISTANZA_CREATA = "S"
End If

looks like you edited your current code from what I was posted - suggest try the suggestion I made

If nz(Me.ISTANZA_CREATA,"N") = "N" Then

Nothing, it doesn't work.
I've created a new record.
Ok, I find the error: the field is related to the table T_ISTANZA.
T_ISTANZA is a T_PUNTO_VENDITA's table, so the field will be populated when I create the Istanza.
How can I manage this field in T_PUNTO_VENDITA?
