Using Access 2010. I am finding when a textbox gets focus again the cursor goes to the beginning of text, and I want it to go to the end. Can someone tell me where Access now hides this setting. Thanks
 
In 2007 it is in the Advanced tab of the Access Options dialog.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thank you PHV

I am having one of those days today, simple things being difficult.

I am trying to output a text box as somebody types into it. Using change event into something, ie another textbox, label or variable.

That bits easy, no problem. But I am trying to output the text as words separated by commas every time the user hits the space bar. Idea being later to use split and further use words. But I keep going round in circles just trying to get a comma separated chain, always seems to refresh and just add a comma on the end. Anybody got suggestions. Thanks

 
always seems to refresh and just add a comma on the end
Which code in which event procedure ?

Thanks.

This works, however I don't want what I am typing into to get the comma's. I want a hidden output of whats being typed, broken with commas.

Code:
Private Sub BSUM_Change()
Me.FLL.Caption = Me.BSUM.Text
End Sub
Private Sub BSUM_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 32 Then
Me.BSUM.Text = Me.BSUM.Text & ","
Me.BSUM.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
 
Suppress the KeyPress event procedure and replace the code of the Change procedure with this:
Me.FLL.Caption = Replace(Me.BSUM.Text, " ", ",")

Hope This Helps, PH.
