When editing formatted date fields, users are constantly frustrated at the
fact that Access places the cursor in the actual position where the click
occurred (imagine that!) instead of at the left (or alternatively, selecting
the entire field). How does one force the cursor to the leftmost character or
force full field selection on the Click event?
