In Visual 6 I could do the following.
private sub text5_gotfocus()
text5.selstart=0
text5.sellength = len(text5)

What this does is when this text box gets focus then any text in the text
box get highlited so when the user starts to type soemthing then all the text
that was in there gets deleted and the new text starts.

I would really appreciate any help

Even though you haven't actually asked a question here, I'm going to assume
you want to know how to accomplish the same thing in VB .NET. Use the
TextBox.SelectAll method.

Private Sub TextBox1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.GotFocus
TextBox1.SelectAll()
TextBox1.SelectionLength = Len(TextBox1.Text)
End Sub
