To set the cursor to a control, call the control' setfocus method...

Me.Textbox1.SetFocus

...and to set the length of the selection, use the SelLength property of the control...

Me.Textbox1.SetFocus
Me.Textbox1.SelLength = 0

I think SelLength will fail if the control does not have the focus.
Cheers,

I'm not sure if this is what you want but try setting the Form's Cycle property to Current Record.

I think that lagbolt's code should read;

Me.Textbox1.SetFocus
Me.Textbox1.Sel[B]Start[/B] = 0

Along these same lines, is there a way to make the "mouse" hover over a specific place when opening forms.

If a Control to open a Form is physically the same as a Subform that is on the opening Form the Form can go into a refresh loop until the user moves the mouse.

You do realise this is a 7 year old thread?
Rather than use complex code unnecessarily, I suggest you move the control or the subform.
Alternatively, disable the control after clicking it.

Hi. You might consider starting a new thread rather than tagging on a 7-year okd discussion. You can add a link to this one for reference. In any case, I'm not sure I fully understand your question. What's happening with your form? Can you post some screenshots?

New Thread it is.
