Positioning Forms

[Creegfire]

Hello All!

You probably think what the hell does the title mean? Well, i cant explain it more better.

What i want to achieve is that i can do a fixed position of a form in Access itself.

Example:

I start my DB ==> startup screen follows
After the startupscreen ==> login screen
After logging in ==> it starts up 2 forms

1 form about the Incidents that are currently running.
1 form is the main menu.

Lets say i want the main menu in the up left corner and that the form of the incidents get right next to it (with some space between it). I hope ive explained this a bit?

Have you tried to do it?

Have you tried to do it?

Ofcourse ive tried to fix it on my own but i still cant get it how i want.

ive tried with some codes like Position = 100h or something like that but thats only used for images what ive found in the forum. Ive also searched to forum but i cant find anything about the problem that i have.

Hmmmm, ive seen there a code like

DoCmd.MoveSize 2000,2000,2000,2000

Only this is actually changing the form and not the position of the form so i didnt help thanks for the reply!

hi,

just wanna comment

MoveSize do change the position of the form to wherever you like the form be place.

from what i understand the syntax would be

MoveSize right, down, width, height

but if you wanna alter the position alone, you can still use MoveSize by this syntax

MoveSize right, down

and there you go,

btw, im using MS Access 2003 with SP2

thanks...
