When the shutter bar is open or closed, the Form (Screen?) shifts right/left. Can I detect this event anyhow to shift some controls on the Form that don't move?

Haha, my attempt to use the 'right' terminology! Mousing over the arrows to open the Nav pane a popup says "Shutter Bar Open/close button".
That's on Access 2019.

So it does. Not very helpful as its maximising/minimising the navigation pane.
Controls on a form are part of the form. If the form moves, so will the controls.

If the form isn't a popup it will be shifted left/tight automatically when the navigation pane is minimised/maximised.
That won't happen with popup forms as, by design, they are placed independently of the application interface

Hi. Thanks for the explanation. I don't think there is an event associated with hiding and expanding the nav pane. However, perhaps you could use a timer event to check for that and react accordingly. Just a thought...
