Why does the following macro action retrieve the first 3 digit of Zipcode?
Why 255?
Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![WeddingList]!
Expression: [Zip].[SelStart] 255
Thanks in advance.

The macro doesn't retrieve anything. It positions the insertion point at the end of the Zip control; 255 being a value larger than the length of the Zip field.

Now I understand SelStart property is used to position the insertion point. Thanks for your help.
