Compile Error: Method or data member not found.

[Arturo]

I posted this before and never got an answer. Here is more information.

I am using Access 2000. I have a table behind a form. Three of the fields
are memo fields. They are Services, Terms, and Vocational. I use the Got
Focus feature to have the cursor go to the first posiiton in the cell. This
works great.

Here is the procedure I use for each field.

Private Sub Services_GotFocus()
Services.SelStart = 0
End Sub

The problem is when I try to compile the database. I get the compile error
"Method or data member not found" and ".SelStart =" is highlighted.

Does anybody know why?

Thank you.

hi Arturo,

I am using Access 2000. I have a table behind a form. Three of the fields
are memo fields.

I assume that you use a TextBox for each field to display the data.

Private Sub Services_GotFocus()
Services.SelStart = 0
End Sub

Rename your controls. Services -> txtServices. This may solve it.

HI Arturo,

Try putting "Me." in front of the references:

Me.Services.SelStart

The txt prefix worked. Thank you all for your help.
