me.refresh while typing in a textbox

[patfee]

hi,
when i type in a textbox the onchange event trigger the form to refresh

after the refresh event, the textbox text is selected and the cursor is at position 1. So if you wish to type an other character, you overwrite was was already typed

is there a way to avoid / correct this?

so that after the refresh event, i can continue typing without erasing the previous characters.

Note that i wish to keep the form refresh in order to "filter" other other elements using the same characters.

Thanks,
Patrick

Your form may get a bit "bumby" by this, I suppose, but try

[tt]me!txtYourControl.selstart=len(nz(me!txtYourControl.value,""))[/tt]

I suppose a quick fix would be to use sendkeys and send the END key as the argument.

It's not a highly recommended way as if you switch applications the END key could be sent to another currently running application. However, the END key is fairly inoccuous.

Have a look as SENDKEYS in help.
