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,
Crystal
