Set Dialog box position

[NigelShaw]

Hi,

is it possible to set the position of a dialog box rather than let it appear wherever it appears? for example, a standard message box appears centre to the screen but if on your form you have a browse button, the browse dialog opens to the left of the screen. Im actually trying to position a font dialog box but nothing much comes up on searches at the minute

if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be cool

cheers

You might try DoCmd.MoveSize in your dialog form's Open event.

Hi Guys,

thanks for the replies. This is a windows dialog box not an Access one so i cannot place code into any form events.

cheers

Were you ever able to find a solution to this?

Hi,

Is it an Access form you are centering or a dialog? If its a dialog, there is a bit of extra coding involved. Let me know and i'll post what i can

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, it's a dialog box (color chooser) from the MS Common Dialog
