Access: move focus to end?

I know how to move focus around in Access Forms using SetFocus.... but how can I force the cursor to move to the end of a text box when it gets focus instead of highlighting the entire text inside? I hate that because it's tooo easy to delete the entire contents of a field instead of just adding text to the end which is 80% of the time what I want to do anyway. Is this a VB script command?

It's been a long time but I believe there is a property box that will alllow you to set the cursor position to Left, Right, All.
Try that until someone gets you a better answer.

I believe that the F2 key will move the cursor to the end of the text in a field. You could run a macro when the field has focus using the SendKeys function and set the send to F2. Or you could write a module with the SendKey command:
