Set focus problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hello,
I have a combo box that users can use to look up a field value in the
database. If the value is not found, a message box appears saying as much
with an OK button. When the user clicks OK, either with the mouse or the
Enter key, I would like the focus on the same combo box with the previously
typed value highlighted, ready for the next entry. I am using:

Forms!myForm!Combo206.SetFocus

which sets the focus, but the text is not highlighted; the cursor is at the
beginning of the field. Is there a way to get the field highlighted?

Many thanx,

Rip
