I'm just guessing that the cursor position is at the end of the text, not the end of the text plus 10. Is that what the problem is?

You will need to add space(10) to the end of your string in order for ww to be correct.

something like this:

replace Notes with Notes + SPACE(10)
STORE LEN(TRIM(notes)) TO ww
thisForm.text32.SelStart=ww
