Is there anyway to stop the user from beng able to move a form. I.e. as in change its position on screen.

I am aware that you can do this by setting the border type to "none". However, I want my form to have a title bar along the top, so I cant use this method.

Is there another way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Ive found some information on the "movable" property, but I am using access 2000 and cant get it to work.

Go to Design, right click select Properties, on Format tab, scroll down to do Moveable and select NO.

I dont have that option on the format tab. Is it because I am using Access 2000? :(
 
I dont now for Access 2000, but in Access 2002 and 2003 this option is avaible.

Maybe You search on wrong place.

When you are in Design view, click on properties (not Format on Menu bar), You have a 5 tabs: Format, Data, Event; Other and All. On Format go to the bottom there you must have a MOVEABLE. Select NO
 
Set the border style of the form property to "None" if your version of Access does not have the moveable property.

Yeah, thats what I did. There is nothing there called "moveable".

Set the border style of the form property to "None" if your version of Access does not have the moveable property.

Yeah, I know you can do it this, way, look at my original post. However, i want to keep the title bar at the top of the form, so I can set the borders to "none".

I was looking for another way to do it, but cant seem to use the "moveable" property in access 2000. :(
 
Use a form header [from the menu bar, click... View - Form Header/ Footer] to create and customize a "title bar" at the top of the form.
