autocenter controls on form

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a rather simplistic problem that I can't find a solution to! I have a
form that I want to maximize every time it opens (which I have achieved
through DoCmd.Maximize in the Form_Load event), but I also want that all the
controls in the form, staying positioned relative to each other, center
themselves horizontally on the form once it is resized. Maybe I can set a
property that always makes them stay in the horizontal center, which is also
great. How could I accomplish this?
Thank you!

Hi,
here a code to center a textbox on a form:

Private Sub Form_Resize()
Me.Width = Me.InsideWidth
Me.Text0.Left = Me.Width / 2 - Me.Text0.Width / 2
Me.Width = Me.InsideWidth
End Sub

Hi Alex,

Thanks so much for replying. Is there a way to do this for ALL the controls
on the form? I don't want each one individually centered on the form, of
course. I need their "group" centered. So would it be more helpful if I
grouped them all? Would there be a way then to refer to the entire group and
use the code you just posted with the whole group?

Thank you,
Kriti

Hi,
not sure that you can center group such way. you can either center each
control manually, or you can put your control on anther form, insert it as a
subform on your main form and center subform the same way I suggested
