Public Function GetHgbstElmDefault(ByVal ListName As String,
		Optional ByVal Element1 As String = "", Optional ByVal Element2 As String = "", Optional ByVal Element3 As String = "", Optional ByVal Element4 As String = "") As String

Description

This method returns the hgbst_elm.title  for the default element in a given level of a user-defined list. You may use up to a 5-level list. If an default element has not been defined, then the first element is returned. The hgbst tables are cached in the FCApplication object, so this method does not cause a database round-trip.
