I use these code in the afterupdate event of a combobox to let the
cursor jump to another field and also to avoid it default highlight
the contents in that field:

Me.Description.SetFocus
Me.Description.SelStart = Len(Me.Description)

Strange is that is sometimes work, but mostly I get:

Runtime Error
Invalid use of Null
[End] [Debug]

How to solve, basically, I want to have the cursor at the end of the
text should there be text, to avoid highlighting, as the SetFocus
command works fine.

text1.selstart specifies which character in a text string you want to
start text highliting at. If you want to highlight the entire text
string in a textbox try

text1.sellength '--starts at beginning of text in textbox and selects
the length specified

text1.sellength = len(text1) '--selects entire text in textbox

You can not set SelStart to Null (Len(Null) is Null), Try
using:
Me.Description.SelStart = Len(Me.Description.Text)
