Is that field a resultant of an expression or it will be filled manually? If it is a manually updated field then use the following expression in the code builder.

If ok.Value = "0" Then
ok.Value = "New"
End If
If the field is a resultant of an expression then add some more lines similar to above to get required results.

    • this code should be added to the "afterupdate" event of the field.

      here "ok" is the name of a sample field.
