Hi,

Check out  textBox.selstart 

Michaela

manuel...
	not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for,  but you might
want to take a look at the selstart command....

Like Text1.SelStart would point to the spot in the text1 text box where
the cursor is...


Hope this helps....

Ě	SelLength Ś returns or sets the number of characters selected.
Ě	SelStart Ś returns or sets the starting point of text selected; indicates
the position of the insertion point if no text is selected.
Ě	SelText Ś returns or sets the string containing the currently selected
text; consists of a zero-length string ("") if no characters are selected.

These properties aren't available at design time.

Syntax

object.SelLength [= number]
object.SelStart [= index]
object.SelText [= value]

The SelLength, SelStart, and SelText property syntaxes have these parts:

Part	Description
object	An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To
list.
number	A numeric expression specifying the number of characters selected.
For SelLength and SelStart, the valid range of settings is 0 to text length
Ś the total number of characters in the edit area of a ComboBox or TextBox
control.
index	A numeric expression specifying the starting point of the selected
text, as described in Settings.
value	A string expression containing the selected text.
Remarks

Use these properties for tasks such as setting the insertion point,
establishing an insertion range, selecting substrings in a control, or
clearing text. Used in conjunction with the Clipboard object, these
properties are useful for copy, cut, and paste operations.
When working with these properties:

Ě	Setting SelLength less than 0 causes a run-time error.
Ě	Setting SelStart greater than the text length sets the property to the
existing text length; changing SelStart changes the selection to an
insertion point and sets SelLength to 0.
Ě	Setting SelText to a new value sets SelLength to 0 and replaces the
selected text with the new string.
