You could be right, but to be honest, I've had users tell me the cursor should always be at the end if I've had it at the beginning, or always at the beginning if I've had it at the end, but I have never ever had any user complain that it should be at the beginning when tabbing forward and at the end when tabbing backward. I think users (at least the ones I've come across) are happy as long as it's in the same place each time they enter the field.

Normally, I have SelectOnEntry = .T. anyway, and change it only when users ask for the change. And then, like I said, they seem to like it best when the the cursor is always in the same place.

Seeing the cursor jump to the end might be unnerving to the users. Some code will be needed to test what the last object was before the textbox got focus.

This.SelStart = Len(Alltrim(This.Text))
