textbox.selstart 1

[andzejek]

I have a textbox with imput mask: 99/99/99 for date entry, some "afterupdate" procedure and I want to place currsor always on beginning of the box with "onGetFocus" and textbox.selstart=1 but for some reason it does not work. Cursor stays where is is after clicking. I did try sendkeys "{home}" - this same.

Do you know whot is wrong?

Actually there is no much code related to this control:

Private Sub Text45_GotFocus()

Me.Text45.SelStart = 1

End Sub

and

Private Sub Text45_AfterUpdate()
Dim myStr As String

myStr = Format(Left(Me.Text45.Value, 2) & "/" & Mid(Me.Text45.Value, 3, 2) & "/" & Right(Me.Text45.Value, 2), "long Date")

Me.lbl2.Caption = "On th eday of " & myStr & " ...."

endsub

Thanks

What happens ? Any error message ? Unexpected behaviour ? Computer crash ? ... ?

no, just cursor stays where it was placed(click) - I want to move it to the beginning.

Hi andzejek,

try on the Click event:

Me.text45.selstart=0
