Don't think you can!

If you mean that you want to group controls so that you can move them as a unit and if you are working in Access 2000 or XP all you need to do is select the controls to be grouped, go to FORMAT on the menu bar and select GROUP.

How can I move the group from within the code? Can this be done?

I want to move the grouped objects down when user clicks a button, so another object beneath the other one will be shown.

Moving a Group with code

I'm not sure that you can move a group since it is not a control and there is no way to identify it.
You could place the controls on a sub-form and move the sub-form. If you set the border Special Effect to “Flat” and the border Color to “Transparent” and the “Detail” Back Color to the same as the main form, it will become indistinguishable form the main form.
