'Article ID: Q95908

Creation Date: 01-MAR-1993

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

In the property sheet, when you press SHIFT+HOME, Microsoft Access should highlight the text to the beginning of the line but does not. This problem occurs only when there is a large amount of text in the property. The same problem can occur with SHIFT+END.

CAUSE

The HOME and END keys do not work correctly with more than 20 inches of text in a text box or property box.

RESOLUTION

To work around the problem, press CTRL+SHIFT+HOME or CTRL+SHIFT+END.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem


 * 1) Type a large amount of text into the ControlSource property of a text box control.
 * 2) Press SHIFT+HOME to highlight all the text to the beginning of the line.
 * 3) Press SHIFT+LEFT ARROW. Note that more text can be highlighted.
