Thanks Jim and Steve.
I can try to teach the users to use the click
the left mouse button.
I don't suppose Access has some easy way of just
forcing the click the left mouse button.

Sorry, I fat fingered the first email... let me try it again.
What have done is put a small button next to the field.
On the click event of the button I put something like:
Me.txtbox.SetFocus
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox
It does open the zoom box but I instruct the users to click the left
mouse button and then usually the cursor is at the end of the box.

The reason for the zoom box is because
there is limited form space.
So I tried to teach the customer to use Shift+F2, but they keep
forgetting how to
launch it. So, I could teach them to
double or single click instead.
I think the zoom box is a different object than the text box. Is
there like me.zoom, etc ?
Thanks.

I thought I did it the 2nd way years ago, but testing it this morning I
see it opens the Zoom box in a modal mode.
You might have to create a simple pop up form as suggested by Stuart.
You can use a bigger text box with larger font and force the entry at
the end of the existing text.
What is the reason for the Zoom box? Usually they should be used to
display more data than is allowed on the form or datasheet. If they are
allowed to edit/enter data, I'd force them to do it via a new pop up
form, emulating a zoom box.
