Select Text On Click By Richard Rost ![]() ![]() Select All Text in a Text Box w SelStart, SelLength In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to select all of the text in a text box on a form when you click on it. This way, you can just click and type, much like how Excel works when you click on a cell. Gabriel from Plano, Texas (a Platinum Member) asks: When I click on a cell in Microsoft Excel, the entire cell is selected, and if I want to overwrite that, I just begin typing. In Microsoft Access, when I click on a field, the cursor goes wherever I click, which could be in the middle of the data or at the end or wherever. Is there a way that I can make it so that when I click on a field on a form, all of the data in that field is selected so I can just type over it instead of having to manually select it with the mouse? It works fine if I tab to it, but I use the mouse more than I tab around the form. I just want to click and type.
