    Set focus and select value on a userform textbox

    I have a userform textbox that has a value in it. Is there a way to set focus on this textbox with the current value being selected? I would like the user to be able to replace the current value immediately instead of having to first delete the current value. Thank you

    Hello Khaos176,

    This example uses TextBox1. Change the name to what you are using.

    Hi,

    was looking for an answer to my problem, wanting the value in TextBox1 highlighted ready to be overtyped without using the backspace key or the mouse.

    Using the above (after a bit of head scratching whether the selstart stuff should be in a with statement, the following worked for me.
