With the code below, I am trying to highlight a default value of 000000 in a textbox (textbox1) in my userform. This will allow the user to overwrite the default entry without having to first select it.

Code: 
        With TextBox1               'rental number
            'cb_mri.Visible = False
            .Locked = False
            .BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
            .Value = format(0, "000000") 'new rental
            .SetFocus
            .SelStart = 0
            .SelLength = Len(.Text)
        End With

The default value of "000000" isn't showing in the textbox let along that value being highlighted.

Is anyone able to tell me where the problem exists?

Do you have any other code in the initialise event that might conflict?

Author John Walkenbach was Mr Spreadsheet until his retirement in June 2019.
Perhaps, but I've been through this code so much now that things are becoming just a blur. It appears I repeat the process at the end of my initialise code, but I don't think it contradicts what was already done. If anything it's just redundant. If you don't mind?

If this
Code: 
Application.WorksheetFunction.Count(ws_vh.Range("L:M"))
results in 0 then both of the textbox1 sections will trigger, so that you end-up with a blue textbox with nothing in it.

Hmmm ...
I changed that to something a bit more reliable . Changes were made as highlighted in purple.
In my testing, mri = false and the code in purple is executed both times.

As far as textbox1 is concerned, what do you want to happen if this line
Code: 
Application.WorksheetFunction.Count(ws_vh.Range("L:M"))
is 0 & what should happen if it's >0

Hi Fluff,

I got rid of that line, replacing it with
Code: 
If mri = True Then

If mri = false, then textbox1 will unlock, the background color will change to something it's value will equal zero and be displayed in the box as 000000 and be configured to allow the user to simply type in a new value of the default 000000. (the selection highlighting.)

If mri = true, textbox1 is out of the question and is replaced by a combobox allowing the user to select specific values.

Some considerations that come to mind:
This form is form #2 that is open. both forms showmodal properties are false.
The combobox referred to is in the exact same place as textbox1. Their individual visible properties determine which one is accessible.

This really wasn't meant to be such a challenge LOL.
I I have captured all your changes, there was some improvement. The box is no longer empty, but I still don't have the hightext text feature.

Not quite sure why the text is not selected, as it works for me.
Does the textbox have the focus?
