I've been using the following code in the On Enter Event Procedure to make the cursor go to the end of the text in a text box instead of highlighting it: <br><br>Me!txtActionItem.SelStart = Me!txtActionItem.SelLength<br><br>Is there another way to have this code apply to the entire form, as opposed to putting it in for each text box?<br><br><br><br> <p>Linda Adams<br><a href=mailto:Garridon@aol.com>Garridon@aol.com</a><br><a href= Adams Online</a><br>I'm a professional writer, published internationally.

There is no easy, or pretty way.<br><br>One of the options is to create a private function in your form:<br><br>==========<br>Private Sub GoToEnd(strField As String)<br> Me(strField).SelStart = Me(strField).SelLength<br>End Sub<br>==========<br><br>Then on the Got Focus Event of each field you want this to happen to, put the following:<br><br>==========<br>Private Sub <b>City</b>_GotFocus()<br> Call GoToEnd("<font color=red>City</font>"
<br>End Sub<br>==========<br><br>Replace the red to the same as the bolded field name:<br><br>This will be alot of code, as every text box On Got Focus Event will have <b>Call GoToEnd("FieldName"</b>, but it will work.<br> <p>Jim Lunde<br><a href=mailto:compugeeks@hotmail.com>compugeeks@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= Application Development
