MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2005Textboxes in UserForms
I have a userform with five textboxes. When the form initializes it "reads" text located between bookmarks and places the various textual items into their respective textboxes. Is there a way, please, to show the contents of the first textbox highlighted rather than the cursor being at the end of the text? Naturally, when I press TAB to go to the next field the text is highlighted. A typical example of what I want to achieve is when one goes to Tools|Options|User Information in Word and the Name field contents are highlighted automatically. Regards Roderick Have you tried using SetFocus on the field?  SignaturePlease respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested. Questions sent directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP >I have a userform with five textboxes.

Yes, I've tried it in the following way: myfieldname.SetFocus but still with no luck - the cursor just goes to the end of the words brought in from the bookmarked area.

It works! Thanks Doug. When one reads what the code is saying it's blindingly obvious!
