placement of forms

[matt330]

is there anyway to specify where on the screen a form will pop up when you click the command button?

In the form that's loading, build an event (code event)

on the _Load event put this code:

Me.Top = 200
Me.Left = 200

now the form *should* start 200 pixels from the top and 200 pixels from the left *HOWEVER* this MAY be relative to the MS Access window, i have not tested this.. Give it a try.

Thanks for the info...i'm kind of VB ignorant...

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Top = 200
Me.Left = 200
End Sub


What am i missing? I think it has a problem with the "Top", as it wasn't an option in the drop down after typing "Me."

Try this instead...

'DoCmd.MoveSize [right], [down], [width], [height]
DoCmd.MoveSize 200, 200

You can also resize the form using the same method...

DoCmd.MoveSize 200, 200, 4000, 3000

Check the help files for the MoveSize method for more info.

Thanks Ghudson, worked like a charm.
