how to set focus without highlighting text (1 Viewer)

[Everton]

Hi,

Is it possible to set the focus to a text box without highlighting the text already there? I have a text box which has a default value, and I set the focus to this when a new record is entered. I want users to be able to just type the rest of the field value, with the first part being the default value. At the moment if they just start typing, it overwrites the default text.

Any help much appreciated,
Paul

try using selStart and selLength in the OnEnter event of the control, e.g.
me![myControl].setStart = me![myControl].selLength

I just set the SelStart property to 10 OnEnter which should cover all possibilities. Works fine.

Thanks, just what I needed.
