Did my code not work ?
Exactly when and how do you want this to happen, are you calling the code
from an event ? Which event ?
Do you have some annoying messagebox prior to this action ? Don't.
Seeing your code would help me help you.

Best wishes Harald

I tried to doing it like this but I still can get it to select the text, if
the user enters let say more than 5 digits I want to highlight the extra
digits to give the user a chance to view or delete it.
