'Right before showing the form (or right after loading the text into the
box), add code similar to....
With txtYourLogFileTextBox
.SelLength = 0 'select 0 characters
.SelStart = Len(.Text) 'cursor = end of text
End With

Actually, you can eliminate the SelLength = 0 line.... setting the SelStart
property to anything (even to itself) will automatically set the SelLength
property to zero.

| Also to add:
The Textbox has a character limit which may be exceeded if your log file is
growing. You may need to switch to a Richtextbox control which imposes no
limit....
