This article was previously published under Q130303



SYMPTOMS
When you provide a default value property for a field in a Visual FoxPro table, Visual FoxPro does not check to see if the default value passes the field validation rule.



RESOLUTION
The developer should be sure that the default value property for a field does not violate the field validation rules.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
Ensuring that field default values do not violate field validation rules is the responsibility of the programmer.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Create a new database and table. Add a new field (named nfld1, type numeric, width 4). As a Validation rule, type:

IIF(nfld1 > 100, .T., .F.)

 As a Default Value, type:

99

 Save the table structure, and append a new record to the table. An error occurs because the default value 99 violates the validation rule that nfld1 must be greater than 100.</ol>
