I have a text box which is set to memo. When a record is selected from my combo box the text is highlighted ie selected. I cannot go to properties and set it to enabled = no because I want the user to have the option of scrolling down here as it contains large amounts of text. How else can I achieve what I am aiming for?

Many thanks in advance
Hayley

Search Help for SelStart(). You can use this to insert the cursor where you like and it will not highlight all the text.

Thanks Jack, I actually found another way. Instead of hiding my primary key on the form I made it visible and filled in the box and border colours so it couldn't be seen. I then set the tab index to 0.
