Cursor Status

[Frank Wagner]

I have a field where I want the user to be able to go to a particular
position in the field so they can enter a single character in that position.
Generally this works, but sometimes the user finds that the cursor lights up
the entire field, so that typing will replace all the data in the entire
field. I'm not sure what causes this to happen, and the users don't know
either. Is there any way that I can enter VBA code that after every
keystroke will force the system to not light up the whole field so the user
can move the cursor around in the field and keep entering data when they want
to?

I use Access 2000

It's a vexing problem and any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Don't know how to prevent it, other than telling the users not to Double-
Click when they go to move the insertion point. Hi-lighting
the field is the normal behavior in Access when a field is Double-Clicked.

I tried a number of things, including placing

Me.Rate.SelLength = 0

in the DoubleClick event, and the native behavior, Hi-lighting
the field, apparently still fires after any other code executes.

Maybe someone else will have an idea.

Sorry!
