Textbox focus

txtAmt resides on a user form and is loaded with a default value from an adjacent cell in the initalize event.
When the form loads I would like text in the textbox to be highlighted with the curser left justified so that if the user doesn't accept the default value he can overwrite the value without first double-clickng.

I guess I need the textbox to be pre-double-clicked.

Possible?

thanks

Here is a bit of my code

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.Height = 90
cmdOK.TabIndex = 3
txtAmt.SelStart = 0
    txtAmt.SelLength = Len(txtAmt.value)
txtAmt.SetFocus
aRow = ActiveCell.Row
aCol = ActiveCell.Column
amtpaid = Cells(aRow, aCol + 1)
recno = Cells(aRow, aCol - 5)   'ID#
recloc = recno + 2        'record location 2 rows more than rec. number
txtAmt.Text = amtpaid
Label1.Caption = "Enter Amount Paid:"
    If amtpaid = "STOCK" Then
        Me.Height = 135
        Label1.Caption = "Dividend:"
        cmdOK.TabIndex = 6
        Flag = "STOCK"
        'Stop
        Exit Sub
    End If

However this still leaves the curser to the right of the default entry

I see now I need to move your code below the point where I set txtAmt.text to amtpaid to get the correct length.
Since we have the grandkids tonight I'm going to check out for this evening.
Thanks for your help and patience.

Yes, I understand about the Tabindex, but if the default entry is "stock" then more of the form is visible and those textboxes' tabindexes are accounted for. I'll check the fix in the am. I was able to accomplish this task in VB6 but I don't remember how. Maybe there were more properties available in the textbox.

Thanks again

Couldn't stand it, I checked and it does exactly as I wanted.

Thanks again Norie.
