Hi All,
I am using a combo box on a form to choose a value for a query. The query results are displayed on another form. The value chosen using a combo box is one of the fields shown on the resuts form and it is highlighted when the form displays. Is there something I can do to the combo box , query or selection or results forms which will result in the Text box in question not displaying value highlighted.
Thanks in advance if you can help.
 
The Text box that is highlighted on the resulting form is probably the first item in the tab order. Change the offending Text boxes place in the tab order.
 
I had an issue similar to yours come up while dealing with an unrelated problem. I too have notice that the field will be highlighted (typically because it is first in the tab order).
Instead of changing the tab order, I fixed the problem (and my original problem) by going to Options in the Tools menu and selecting the keyboard tab. Change the 'behaviour entering field' option to 'Go to start of field' (or end depending on your preference)

By default that field was set to 'Select entire field' which results in a highlighted field.

Hope that helps!
