Eliminate Form Text Black Color

Post by burrina »

When any field gets the focus Access highlights the text in that field in Black, this is very annoying and difficult to even read.
I want to eliminate it from every text field in the database. I can of course use code for every text field, very time consuming!

I instead need a function I can call to do this.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Ex; Me.ControlName.SelStart = 0

Select File > Options.
Select Client Settings in the navigation pane on the left.
Under 'Behavior entering field', select either 'Go to start of field' or 'Go to end of field'.
Click OK.
Best wishes,
Hans
