After the code to select the text, issue a DODEFAULT in the GotFocus. This will cause the first character to be highlighted.

With THIS
   .SelStart = 0
   .SelLength = 1
Endwith
DODEFAULT()

Of course this does nothing if the user clicks in the editbox (highlighting the first characetr) and then clicks somewhere else in the editbox. The GotFocus has already fired and will not fire again until the editbox has LostFocus.

HTH.
