Getting controls to move with cursor?

With Access 2000, I can't seem to move selected controls (i.e., field,
field labels, buttons, etc.) with the keyboard arrows. In Access 97 I
used to do that all the time and can also do that in FileMaker Pro.
It makes life a heck of a lot easier!

Was wondering how to enable this in Access 2000, pls? At home in
Access2K on Win2K and Access 2K at home on Win98SE, same thing.
Keyboard arrows don't work. It's a pain to have to fine-tune
placement via control properties all the time, otherwise.

Tx. :oD
 
Are you saying that, in design mode, you can't get the controls to move
using only the arrow keys? If so, try using <Ctrl><Arrow> and/or
<Shift><Arrow> for moving/sizing.

Yes, that's the case. I used to be able to do that in Access 97, but
both Access 2000 at home and at office don't allow for this.

Great! Will give that a try. Never occurred to me. Tx.

Thank you! Ctrl+Arrow works! Thank heavens. That's made life
easier. I used all the arrows to move in any direction. :oD
