Re: How do you set focus to the last character in a control

Hello everyone,

Is there a way I can set focus to go to the last character typed in a control? When I use set focus to a control such as memo field in visual basic the field is highlighted. I don't want the user may accidentally delete what is there. They need to add to the memo field.

I would appreciate your input.

Thanks!

Try this...

Me.YourTextBox.SetFocus
Me.YourTextBox.SelStart = Me.YourTextBox.SelStart + Len(YourTextBox) + 1

Last Character

Put the following code in the OnEnter Event of the control:

me!yourfield.SelStart = me!yourfield.SelLength

replace yourfield with the actual controlname.
