I have several JTextFields of a set size that I fill with text read from a database. Some of that data is larger than the JTextFields and thus requires the user to "scroll" sideways to view all of the data. However, when data is read this way, the default view shows the last part of the text instead of the first part. How do I set the JTextFields' default view to show the beginning of the text? Thanks!

Have you tried setCaretPosition( 0 );
