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.
