[AccessD] Editing default field content

Yes...I think this is how I did it before. If not exact, then pretty dang close. Thank you!

On the GotFocus event of the control have something like the following:

me.yourfieldname.SelStart = Len(Trim(me.yourfieldname))

I don't think I asked the question right. I've got it so that the "AB00" does show up in the field, but when you enter the field, the whole thing is highlighted. So, if you start typing, you are typing over the default "AB00", or you must press F2, or click at the end, to add to this, which you want to do, 90% of the time.

So, what I actually need to figure out is how to place the cursor, at the end of the default string, upon getting focus on the field.

======You can add AB00 to the format.
