Masked text box

When you use a Mask on a Text Box for something like inputing a specific style e.g Upper Case , is it possible to get the curser to automaticaly start at the beggining of the Text Box when you click in it rather than were the click took place.

RE: Masked text box

Hi Simon

Yes this is possible. The settings for this may be in the properties for the text box, however if not you are able to code this functionality using either VB or VBA.

Hope this helps
David
