Text get selected on opening the forms

[Idris]

Dear All

I have a form with memo field as [acLetter]. Now whenever I open the form the text in the memo forms are all selected/highlighted in all the records. Is there any settings required to disable this feature or have I missed out something, so that the text should not be selected at the time of opening the form.

Thanks

Open your form in design view goto View / Tab Order and change the order so that your memo field is not "Top of the List".

You can go to properties of the memo field /Other "Tab Stop" = No

If I don't want the any of the controls to be the "first" tab stop I put a command button on the form name it cmdDud make it Tranparent = Yes, then put it at the top of the tab list.
Now put the tab stops in the order you would like for your users (with cmdDud at the top)
