The SelectOnEntry should work if you have 5.0 or higher....but there must be something else wrong because the Format K should work also, even if SelectOnEntry is .F. the Format K should highlight the information in field. What type of control is this? Are you loading anything into the keyboard buffer before or after the SetFocus? Does the information get highlighed if you tab into the field instead of doing SetFocus?

>>When I do a SetFocus() on a field that has a Format of K to select all upon entry the field is not selected. I am doing a SelStart, SelLength to select the field now. Is there a better way to do this?
