Hi All

Is there a way that I can automactically select the contents of a text box. On a button I set the focus to a particular textbox on a userform, but instead on just placing the cursor in the textbox I would like to highlight the contents of the textbox.

Kindest Regards

Peter

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
This works - but there might be a better way :-

'-------------------------------------
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
TextBox1.Text = "xxx"
TextBox1.SelStart = 0
TextBox1.SelLength = Len(TextBox1.Text)
End Sub
'---------------------------------------
