[AccessD] Position cursor at beginning of field

I presume your field is a bound textbox on a form?

On the gotfocus event of the textbox, manipulate the sellength, selstart,
and seltext properties to position the cursor.

This should do the trick.

Cheers

Subject: [AccessD] Position cursor at beginning of field

Is it possible to set the cursor at the beginning of a field on got focus? I

often provide people with an input mask for a date field but if they click 
into the field instead of tabbing (or Enter-ing) in they end up having 
trouble getting the date in correctly.



Thanks,
Gina
