Moving Form's Controls

[Accessna]

This is a small gift from my teacher AbuHadi.

How to move (changing location) form's controls while running.

What event initiates such movement and to what location? Assuming that you have that figured out, adjust the controls' Left and Top properties (in rasters, inches time 2400) to the requisite new position.

Nice, thanks. I just did a similar thing by giving the end users buttons to nudge controls left, right, top, height, and width. Those values are saved in a local table in the front end. It was easy to do, but extremely time consuming to make. Yours might be faster to implement.

adjust the controls' Left and Top properties (in rasters, inches time 2400) to the requisite new position.

Never heard of "rasters". Whatever they are they are, they are not used in Access.

The measurements are in "Twips" (Twentieth of an Imperial Point.) One Point is 1/72 of an inch making 1440 twips to the inch (about 567 to the cm).

Gotme. I misspoke, Galaziom. I was thinking of another concept.
