  4. Press Ctrl+E or click on ‘Script Editor’ toolbar button on Customization which will invoke the script editor
  5. Type the following VB script code in curCreditLimit_GotFocus event to set the default value of credit limit to $10,000 if the value is 0

    Sub curCreditLimit_GotFocus

    If Form.Controls("curCreditLimit").Amount = 0 then

    Form.Controls("curCreditLimit").Amount = 10000

    End If

    End Sub



  6. Exit the ‘Script Editor’. Save the customization and exit the ‘Customization’ form
  7. On the ‘Maintain Vendors’ form, create a new vendor ID, tab to the ‘Credit Limit’ and notice the value is set to the new default value
