access sub form

[Robin]

In an Access 2000 database that has a form and sub form with master/child
settings specified.

When adding a new value in sub form the value is selected after first
character typed. It runs before insert, before update, after update and then
after insert events, which then selects the text.

Is there setting for not selecting the entered text in a sub form?

Or some code that will unselect the text for any field on the sub form
without coding the field names.

When adding a new value in sub form

You mean adding a new record, or typing a value into a field which is
currently blankl, of an existing record?

the value is selected after first character typed.

You type a character, and that character is immediately selected? Then you
type another, and those two characters are immediately selected?

It runs before insert, before update, after update and then
after insert events,

Of which form? The main form, or the subform?

which then selects the text.

You mean those events contain some code which deliberately selects the text?
Or, when you run those events, something else (that you do not understand)
seems to select the text?

Is there setting for not selecting the entered text in a sub form?
Or some code that will unselect the text for any field on the sub form
without coding the field names.

I think you need to describe your problem more clearly, and then someone can
help you.
