I'm setting up a "comments" field with a scroll bar. I want to have the most current comments to be entered at the top. Using a script, I know how to start a new line and input current date, but I can't figure out how to get the insertion point of this new line to be at the beginning of the field instead of the end after the field is not empty. I want the program to set the cursor instead of the user.

Can this be done? Thanks.

At the most simplistic you need to capture the new comments in a seperate field, then do the following to combine them together with a set field step: gNewComments & " " & Comments, or something like that.

Now if you want a more complex, but more powerful and interactive way to do this you can check out John Mark Osbourne's web site @ www.databasepros.com

You can set another field with old data. Then clear your field. Enter new text/date. Add space to it. Cut the old data from "another field". Paste to your main field. It will take split second on current machines.

Thanks for the help. Got it done and it works great.
