[AccessD] Position pop up form on opening

MessageYeah!  That worked!  Had to take off the autosize and autocenter, though.

Thank you.

Rocky

  Aha, that is correct!
  Rocky, you can achieve the same results as what I illustrated, by typing in your Form_Load event:
  DoCmd.MoveSize x, y

  I am trying to remember why I gave up on using MoveSize and went with the API route.  There was a certain situation when it didn't give me the results I wanted.

    Sorry, I was using XP but 2K has a DoCmd.MoveSize property which does the same thing.

      John,
      What version of Access are you using?  A2K doesn't have a Move method for a form!

        Use the me.move property in the form's open or load event

        Private Sub Form_Load()
        ' Must use twips
            
            ' moves the form 4" to the left and 2" down from the top
            Me.Move 4 * 1440, 2 * 1440

        End Sub

          Dear List:

          How does one position a pop up form on opening?  I tried Auto-Center but it's too high.  I need to tell it just where to go.
