[dba-SQLServer]SQL Server default value not happening

No, I understand that.  It is NOT being set AT ALL in the created record
from inside the ADP.  That's how I discovered it wasn't being set.  This
case is my active flag which must be set to see records.  Three records
created yesterday were mysteriously missing.  The answer... the active flag
is not being set true by default when the record is created.

Further, IN DESIGN VIEW in the ADP, the default value doesn't show.

I assume that you mean the SQL level default value rather than the Access
level default. If so, I don't think you'll see it set until after you save
the row. Same behaviour as ANPK values.

I upsized my client billing to SQL Server the other day.  This morning I
noticed that a couple of flag fields in my main time table are not being set
to their default value.  I went directly into EM and created a record in the
table and the flags are correctly set there.  I opened the ADP, opened the
table there and entered a record, and the default value is NOT being set
correctly there.

Any ideas why the default values would work in EM but not in the ADP?
