[AccessD] Editing default field content

OK, now I just feel plain 'ol dumb as a rock. I definitely over thought this one. I forgot all about this, and I did know it was out there too. Well, I know how to do it both ways now, I guess. Thanks!

If you want to do this for the entire database, you can go to Tools -> Options -> Keyboard tab -- look for Behavior entering Field.  Tick off:  Go to end of field

You might be able to do this through code on the On Enter event.

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.
