Form Floating Total ??? HELP HELP HELP

[Guest]

I have a form with 6 lines of information on it.

I have a field named: AdjTotal

I want to display this field over the top of another field at 1.5 inches
down the forms detail section and 3.9 inches from the Left side of the form.
I have tried the following:
AdjTotal.Top = 1.5
this moves the field up a few lines consistently however not to the right
place.

AdjTotal.Left and AdjTotal.LefMargin = 3.9 do nothing.

Is there a way to move the AdjTotal field using a command button like this?

Your help is greatly appreciated ahead of time...

Hi

Don't think it can be done.

I think you will already have tried this . Open the form in design view.
Add an unbound text box in the footer of the form. Place your calculation to
obtain the total in this text box. Add another text box to the details
section of the form. Position the new box where you want it (includeing
ensure you bring it in front of the other fields on the form ) and press
Control S.

That won't work as you will have the total answered in EACH detail section
of the form. Your best bet would be to hide the other fields and simply have
the total in the footer or header. You can always code the other fields to
visible when you need them.

Sorry not much help - but I liked your question so spent a while trying
things out - with not much luck.

Thanks That seems to be the way I HAVE TO DO it but I wanted to know how to
move the actual field but guess that is not possible unless someone allot
smarter than me can figure it out. Thks
