At the moment I am using an input mask on many of my forms to ensure that users enter data in the correct way. However users are complaining a lot because when they click on a box containing an input mask they have to ensure it is at the start of the box. Is it possible to force the cursor to begin at the start of the box, like when there is no input mask present?

Input Mask Problem

Write a code to activate in the fields OnClick event.
Example where field is Text1:
Me.Text1.Setfocus
Me.Text1.SelStart = 0
This will set the selected field as focus and move the cursor to the beginning of the field in a flashing, ready to edit state.
This should solve your problem.
Let me know if it doesn't work for you.
