Hi,

I need some help w/ a minor problem...

When designing a form (and positioning fields) the "Arrow" keys come in very
handy. I can use them on my laptop and move my fields in very small
increments (instead of using the mouse).

Now, however, on my recently purchased (new) desktop, this feature does not
work... not in Forms or Reports. Does anyone know if there are some
MS-Access settings that need to be checked to utilize the Arrow keys?


Thanks,
Tom
 
If you highlight the control that you wish to move and then press CTRL and
the arrow keys, the objects should move around for you.
