[AccessD] WindowLeft Property

Annie,

In reading your email, and researching me.windowleft, I'm assuming you are 
moving forms or reports around on the screen.  'WINDOWLEFT' returns an 
Integer indicating the screen position in twips of the left edge of a form 
or report relative to the left edge of the Microsoft Access window.

In A2K this feature is not available...although I think a simple workaround 
would be to use something like mycontrol.top and mycontrol.left...both of 
these also return an integer in TWIPS...and make the necessarly setting 
changes this way.

Hope it helps...and if my assumptions are wrong (happens often), let me 
know.
