Abe,
There are two situations...
When you Tab into the field, or when you mouse click
into the field. (ex. LastName)
This code covers both...
**For cursor at the Beginning of the text string...
Private Sub LastName_Click()
LastName.SelStart = 0
LastName.SelLength = 0
End Sub
Private Sub LastName_Enter()
LastName.SelStart = 0
LastName.SelLength = 0
End Sub

**For Cursor at End of the text string...
Private Sub LastName_Click()
LastName.SelStart = Len(LastName)
LastName.SelLength = 0
End Sub
Private Sub LastName_Enter()
LastName.SelStart = Len(LastName)
LastName.SelLength = 0
End Sub

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
