we migrated a database(column name -- id,fname,lname) from eRoom(ECM) to sharepoint custom list..the migration went fine.. but when in sharepoint i navigate to the list and click on the link to create new item .. i get default values in the "newform.aspx" i.e the column id=1,fname=bob,lname=mason -- this is the first row values of the list.. any suggestions?..is this fixable out-of-the-box?

Update : I used a Tool "DocAve"

Please explain how the data was migrated into SharePoint. For example, some sort of migration tool? Or did you simply do an export into a file (such as .csv) and then import that into SharePoint using the Import Spreadsheet or perhaps the Custom List in Datasheet View? – Brian Mar 26 '12 at 20:06
I'd suggest contacting them about this. I'll send out a tweet about this and link to this question, hopefully, you will get a response. – Brian Mar 26 '12 at 20:11
Also, can you clarify in the question what you are seeing in the NewForm.aspx? Are you seeing the correct field names? Are you seeing the default values? If you are simply seeing default values, I imagine it's able to be fixed by simply editing each of the fields in the SharePoint list columns (List Settings > then click each field, scroll down to the "default value" setting) – Brian Mar 26 '12 at 20:16
