So I will write my code as I need to but I always like being able to save key strokes.

I recently wanted to be able to copy text in a field to the clipboard to use it in another program (one that I could not link to the main program).  So I wrote this:

Private Sub SReqOrganizationName_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
      Dim strCTL As String
      strCTL = Screen.ActiveControl.Name
      With Me.Controls(strCTL)
        If Len(.Value) Then
           .SelStart = 0
           .SelLength = Len(.Value)
           DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
        End If
      End With
End Sub

By using the with statement, I didn’t have to customize this for each field that I wanted to do this on.

The better thing would be to write this as a public command rather than put this is each fields DoubleClick command. But this works and works well too.
