    How do I code a highlight of the entire text in text box?

    I have a text box on a form and I need to have all of the text highlighted in the text box when the form loads.

    I appreciate any effort and time,
    Daniel Christie

    This will do what you asked:
    Code:
    Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)

    Code:
    Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
