[AccessD] Position pop up form on opening

Obviously, if you are going to manually position the form, you would want to
set AutoCenter=False.  Are you saying that it won't reposition your form if
AutoSize is turned on?  That might be the reason why I don't use the
MoveSize method.

Yeah!  That worked!  Had to take off the autosize and autocenter, though.
 
Thank you.

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.
