I'd like to add messages for the user at the foot of a text box in MSA 2003.
Each 'previous msg' to scroll up.
(I don't really care if the 'fallen-off-the-top' MSGs can be retrieved or not)
The problem being how to keep the textbox displaying the 'newest' / 'bottom'
influx of text - rather than doing it's normal of reverting to it's top
everytime.
I thought this was a doddle with VB - but appears to be rather tiresome with
MSA.

MSA - (Office-2003)
System - no limits
OS - MS Vista

Any help gratefully appreciated.

See if this is what you are looking for.
Code the Control's Enter event:

Me.[ControlName].SelStart = len(Me.[ControlName])
 
Thanks Fred,
Not sure if this is gonna help in my particular case - but I'll investigate.
Whatever - ".SELSTART" is a property I've not encountered before.
Assuming it can apply to MEMO fields too, then it'll help on a totally
different project!

Thanks for your advice.

Dave.
