Code |

| Place the following code into the GotFocus sub
of the textbox whose contents you want to have highlighted on obtaining focus: |
|
Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
With Text1
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(.Text)
End With
End Sub
|

| Comments |
An object cannot obtain focus during the Form_Load. If you require that the a textbox have focus on the initial displaying of
the form, either set that control's Tabstop property to
0, or use an implicit Show statement in the form's Load event:
Sub Form_Load()
(any form start-up code)
Me.Show
Text1.SetFocus
End Sub
