See my previous note. you don't need the With-EndWith structure, and you don't need the Selstart property. Just This.SetFocus() works for me in every case.

Want to avoid having the user click into the text box at the position to the right of the decimal. Was expecting SelectOnEntry to select the entire value. Instead, the cursor is placed wherever the user clicked.
