Highlight entry value

Guest

Hi,

I'm designing a database, in which the data entry person is a modified
worker who is not familiar with computers at all.

In the entry form, is there a way to highlight the value of the entry box on
click, instead of having to delete it first and then enter?

Thanks

In the Got Focus event of each control you want to do this with:
Me.SomeControl.SelLength = Len(Me.SomeControl)

It will cause the text in the control to be highlighted and as soon as the
user starts typing, the existing text will be deleted.
