Keeping Place in Text Box while loosing focus

[bgivens]

I have a text box that contains a report. Data is then entered from
this report to other parts of the form by the user. However, when the
user clicks to enter the data in other parts of the form the text box
resets back to the top of the report. I was wondering if anyone had
come across this before and knows the code to fix this?

Thanks

I'm new, but I've never heard of using a report to enter data anywhere. As
far as I know, data is entered using forms, directly entered into tables (not
a good method), or by using action queries.

My understanding is that reports are basically just for printing.

I could be wrong.

Sorry I didn't think about the way I worded my question. The report I
refer to in my question is just several pages of text in the text box.

I sort of figured out what you were saying right after I posted my message....

If you made that textbox with the "report" in it a seperate form that would
pop-up on the click of a button on your main form, and made it (the new form)
so it was NOT modal (ie, so you could work in the main form without closing
the "report" form, that might work.

Just a stab in the dark. I think you might be out of luck trying to
accomplish it all within one form.

Good luck,

Just an update:

I managed to find this which will let me go back to the position of the
text box when I return after loosing focus which helps, I still haven't
found what will keep it displayed instead of returning to the top
though.
