yes. From the main menu, tools, options, behaviour entering field;
choose an option that pleases you, the default obviously does not.

Yes, in the form's properties, set the cycle property to Current
Record. (it's in the Other tab.

Change default tab behavior -> don"t highlight text?

Hi,

Is there a way to have the text not be selected when you tab onto a
field? (All forms, all fields.)

Is there a way to keep a form from advancing to the next record when
you press tab on the last field, and instead move the cursor back to
the first field?

Perfect. Thanks.

This code puts the cursor at the end of the current text in a control;

Public Sub TextEnter(RHS As TextBox)
With RHS
.SelLength = 0
.SelStart = Len(.Text)
End With
End Sub

You call it via the Enter event of the control;

Private Sub EmployeeName_Enter()
Call TextEnter(Me.EmployeeName)
End Sub
