How to go automatically to the beginning?

[DrMaestro]

Hi,

I have a date field and a phone field with input masks. What I want to achieve is when someone clicks the fields, I want the cursor to go to the beginning (the leftmost) of the field. Actually, when you click a field, the cursor appears just at the spot you clicked, which can be the middle of the field, so you have to press the left arrow to go to he beginning and start typing. This is annoying, because it diverts the users attention. Any solutions?

Thanks

Try:
Private Sub YourTextBox_Click()
Me.YourTextBox.SelStart = 0
End Sub
