[AccessDevelopers] Re: Make directions disapear when typing.

 

Hi,

I use the following to automatically select and copy the contents of a text box when it is clicked.

It's not exactly what you are asking for but it might help or give an idea.....

Good luck!

Andy

Private Sub Lastname_Click()
SelectText Me!Lastname
End Sub

Sub SelectText(ctlName As Control)
ctlName.SetFocus
ctlName.SelStart = 0
ctlName.SelLength = Nz(Len(ctlName), 0)
RunCommand acCmdCopy
End Sub
