Hello,
When I tab from one control to another or use docmd.gotoControl the control
gets highlighted automatically.
Is there a way to put the cursor at the end of the control or at the
beginning of the control without highlighting the control?
Thanks
Abe


Take a look at the SelStart and SelLen properties:

Me!controlname.SelStart = Len(Me!controlname)
Me!controlname.SelLen = 0

will put the cursor at the end, with nothing selected.

It might need to be Len(...) + 1, I haven't used it in a while!
