Hello,

In design view, when you click on a control or a label or any objects on a
form or report, the concerned object is surrounded by eight small square
around the control.

Does anyone knows how to do it through code ? .. meaning that when such a
procedure is trigger, it would be like you click on a control in design view
and the eight squares appear.

I tried .selectobject but the squares do not appear also the object is
selected.

I am trying to solve this issue since a few days and any help would be
welcomed.

Thanks in advance

Michel
