Access 2007 Positioning of click box

[Guest]

I have an Access Form, on the form are click boxes (Icon click, asks a
question, then prints report).

Unfortunately when you access the form, then select the click box, it
obscures the information required to answer the prompt.

I need to make the click box appear in a set place that does not obscure my
text.

Ideas welcomed, please keep them simple.

I have looked here http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=208299 & this works
on Access 2003, but I cannot find it on 2007.

But this is not what I want as I would like to keep the form centred

Thanks

There are 2 directions to take. If you only need the form for the report,
hide it, then close it when closing the report' To do that simple add a line
of code to the button code which opens the report:

Me.Visible = False

I need the form to be visible.

Its on a form, its called a 'Button' (I think it was a click box on 2003).

My button brings up a pop up box 'Enter Parameter value' the user then
enters an account number & can then print that report.

The problem I have is the pop up box covers the account number field on the
form.

Sorry my earlier terminology was incorrect.
Thanks for your input

In that case, use MoveSize in the Open event:

DoCmd.MoveSize

[, down][, width][, height]​

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I am new to macros & do not know how to
do as you suggest.
I have gone to design view, selected the item, gone to properties.
In event I currently have on click (& goes & opens a form all works ok).
Where / how do I enter as you suggested? & are your commas where I insert
figures?

Thanks
Steve
