Your database back-end should be assigning default values - not your client.

>Is it possible to use default values and RuleExpressions in CursorAdapters?

>We would like to move our updateable views (with default values and code in RuleExpression) to cursor adapters. For the views we set all kinds of default values for fields:
>
>cStatus c(1) default 'I' RuleExpression 'FillStatusUpdate()',
>tStatusUpdate t
>
>function FillStatusUpdate
>replace tStatusUpdate with datetime()
>return .t.
>
>Appending a record to the view based cursor fills the cStatus field with 'I'.
>Updating the cStatus field fires the FillStatusUpdate() function.
>BUT this doesn't work in CursorAdapter based cursors!!!
