Changing editing behavior of form fields |
|---|
| message from EHPorter on 5 May 2004 |
When tabbing around the fields in a form, the normal behavior of Access
seems to be to "highlight" the contents of the field when tabbing into it.
Thus, any keypress will replace the contents of the highlighted field.
This can cause problems, particularly where long memo fields are involved.
If someone tabs into a large memo field, and then accidentally hits a key,
the entire memo field is erased and replaced with the errant keystroke.
Is there any way to change this default behavior? I do not want to prohibit
editing the fields. I just want Access to stop highlighting the entire
contents of a field when the user tabs into it.
Thanks for any help.

Thank you. I knew it had to be something simple like that. Unfortunately,
I was focusing on the individual fields on the form, and searching the
properties sheet for some property I could change. It never occurred to me
that this would be set as a "global option"
