Hi. I have input masks for many of my text boxes on my form. When I click inside the text box the cursor stays on that character I clicked on. So, if I enter in a value, it starts at where I clicked inside the box, not at the beginning. In other words, do you always have to click at the very start of the text box to input your value? Not a big deal, just kind of annoying that it does that.

Thanks

Andrew

Look at tools>Options >keyboard

Neither of these seems to be working. I tried the getfocus where the selstart = 0 but that isnt working either. I've treid all the options under keyboard also. Thank you for pointing me out to them though.

Andrew

What are your Input Masks? And I assume they are set at the table level I never have them set at the table level as I have read that it can present problems???? I am not to sure if they (input masks) are overiding the :

Private Sub YourControlNameHere_GotFocus()
Me!YourControlNameHere.SelStart = 0
End Sub

Or the Tools>Options>keyboard settings ?

They are just regular input masks I made under properties> input mask. Like 9999 and CCCC. Things like that for the text boxes.

hmmmmm.......can you attach a zipped copy of your db no larger than 500kb and no sensitive data?

Sure. I just copied the form into a new empty db.

Can not really tell from what you attached as there is no record source for the form however tabbing trough the form the curser is at the beginning of the controls ????

Oh I meant when I click somewhere inside the box using the mouse cursor. Thanks for looking!

Andrew

Have a meeting but will return. Sorry to mislead you IF the curser is used then it will react as you described however I very well could be mistaken.

Andrew,

Do not know if this will work but try this on the click event of the control rather than the Got Focus Event.


Me!YourControlNameHere.SelStart = 0

Oh yes. Thank you. That worked

Your Welcome, Good Luck with your project
