Change position of Record Selector?

[Guest]

I have a subform that I have managed to squeeze onto the bottom of a form,
but the Record Selector for the subform is just off the screen and no matter
what I do I cannot resize things enough to bring it into view. This means
that users have to scroll down just to get at the Record Selector.
Can I place it somewhere else - perhaps at the top of the subform - or even
within it - or is it immoveably located at the bottom?
Thanks

the RecordSelectors are gray squares at the left end of each record. do you
mean the NavigationButtons? what navigation are you attempting that your
user *must* use those buttons to perform?

Sorry I always get those two mixed up! Yes it's the Navigation Buttons, that
enable you to hop betwen the various records and to append a new one, etc.
I have a Corporate Client main form, and at the bottom of this a subform
that shows the details for our various contacts at that particular company.
(These are held in a separate table from the Corporates).
We select a given Corporate and then need to move between the various
contacts at that company to find the one we want, or to add a new one.
The Nav Buttons are ideal for this.
Thanks for any suggestions!

yes, the Nav buttons are handy, but if you've no room for them then just use
keyboard movements. PageUp and PageDown keys will move back and forth
between records; Ctrl+Home with move to the first record; Ctrl+End will move
to the last record. if you have problems when trying to use those, then
experiment with the Cycle property of the subform.
