Hi There,

I like to automate a function in my database.
I have an Objectbox(Foto) and A Textbox(Titel)
When I enter the Objectbox, the first letter in the textbox
must be selected, the focus must go to the objectbox, than the file-insert system must be opened
in the directory with the same letter as the first letter selected out of the textbox.

This is what i have:

Private Sub Foto_Enter()

Dim strSearch As String
Dim intWhere As Integer
Dim ctlTextToSearch As Control

' Get search string from user.
With Me!Titel
strSearch = ""

' Find string in text.
intWhere = InStr(.Value, strSearch)
If intWhere Then
' If found.
.SetFocus
.SelStart = intWhere - 1
.SelLength = 1
Else
' Notify user.
MsgBox "String not found."
End If

End With
End Sub

Please help!
 
gloudo,

I'm just here to learn. I don't know what an ObjectBox is and I did not know that you can get to a disk directory without some kind of Shell or Dir command or something like that.

What does the file insert system do? I work in Access97, perhaps this is a 2002 capability.

I'm sorry I can't help but I sure am curious. :-D

Regards, Sorrells
