Select text in field

[Lou Civitella]

How can I have the user click on a text box and have all the text in the
field highlighted?
Preferrably on the On Click event of the field.

I want to simulate using the SendKeys "{F2}" but without using the SendKeys
function.

Thanks,
Lou

In the control's OnClick event

Me.ActiveControl.SelStart = 0
Me.ActiveControl.SelLength = Len(Me.ActiveControl.Text)
