txt box

[Guest]

Hi,
how can I do following:
When cursor is in txt box and I press enter I want cursor to stay in that
txt box and to stay on the end of string.
So far I managed to force cursor to stay in a field but after enter whole
string in txt box gets selected and that is what I don't want.
Thanx

If you're doing this with VBA, use the SendKeys statement with F2.

That will not work. F2 will select the entire text box, but leave the cursor
at the beginning of whatever is in the text box.

For me, F2 puts the cursor at the end of the field in both Access and Excel.
It always has but you may be using a different version. BTW, that's SendKeys
{F2}.

That will not work. F2 will select the entire text box, but leave the cursor
at the beginning of whatever is in the text box.

If you're doing this with VBA, use the SendKeys statement with F2.

I was not able to reproduce what you are saying. I always avoid using
SendKeys. I do know that if you select Tools, Options, Keyboard, you can set
the Enter Key Behaviour to not move when it is pressed.
