Hi Bob,

* CUSTOMIZING YOUR FORM/REPORT DESIGN TOOLBAR:

when you are in the design view of a form or report,
RIGHT-CLICK in a gray area to the right of your menu bar or
an icon bar

choose *Customize* from the shortcut menu

in the dialog box...

choose the *Commands* tab

Category --> *Form/Report Design*

slide these icons to the Form Design toolbar:
(they are located about 3 "screens" down in the Commands list)

Align Right -- must have >1 control selected to be enabled
Align Left -- "
Align Top -- "
Align Bottom -- "
Bring To Front
Send To Back

If you don't know what these icons do, while the customize
window is open, click on the DESCRIPTION command button for
each one to see what is does.

to be efficient, the Align button are a MUST for form and
report design

the Bring To Front and Send To Back are nice to have too --
since everything is "layered" and this gives you control on
the order

It is also a good idea to open the property sheet
(from the menu --> View, Properties)

on the Format tab, you can set values such as width, height,
left, top, ...


Warm Regards,

Strange, I've had all those buttons in my Form and Report toolbars for years.
Wouldn't want to work without them.

Hi Bob,

in order to align, you have to have more than one control
selected

to select multiple controls:

1. click and drag an imaginary line (or rectangle) touching
every control you want to select and then let go of the mouse

OR

2. click (and drag if desired) in the vertical ruler to
select everything on that extended horizontal line (or
rectangle)

OR

3. click (and drag if desired) in the horizontal ruler to
select everything on that extended vertical line (or rectangle)

OR

4. click the first object and then SHIFT-CLICK objects to
toggle their selection status


Warm Regards,
Crystal

Hi Bob,

so when the control drops the drop-part doesn't line up with
the text part of the combo?

Is it the first control on your form?
