Using the Mouse Up or Click event of the control try something like

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

I tried the Enter and Got Focus events, but apparently they fired before the
mouse click was done and so the highlight got erased. The Mouse Up event is
late enough to avoid this problem.
