Highlighting Text In Textbox

Hello

When tabbing in a textbox that contains text, the text string is usually
highlighted so that if the user starts typing new text in the textbox, the
old text is erased.

Is there a way that when tabbing in the textbox, the text string would not
be highlighted and the cursor would go to the end of the text string where
the user could just start typing in new text without erasing the old text.

I am using Access 2000

Thanks

Try this

Private Sub YourTextBoxName_Enter()

Me!YourTextBoxName.SelStart = Len(Me!YourTextBoxName)

End Sub
