I've a field on a detail screen which is a drop dwon menu of a complex table.Standard no entry is selected for the drop down. Is it possible to set an entry of the drop down as initial value?Reason is that I've got a button that should start an action for a selected value from the drop down value.So the target of the button refers to a selection of an object based on the drop down value.As I start the screen with no initial value for the drop down the target of my button is not set and I'm not able to start the action of the button.Can someone help me?

You should be able to use an initial value rule in the transaction property to set the value to one of the possible values in the drop down control. Have you tried that?

Something doesn't sound right.
You can't run another Action from a Transaction Screen in Agentry.
Are you saying that you set up a Drop Down Control on a Detail Screen?
If that is the case, you will need to put an Update Rule on the Drop Down Field on the Screen to initially default a value, since there is no Transaction involved.
Just hard code the String Constant value you want defaulted in the Update Rule.
