[Carlos Rodriguez]

Does any one have code on how to manipulate (drag) a frameless (Border Style
: None) windows with code?

thanks

A borderless form cannot be resized or moved without code.

In code you can use the MoveSize method:

DoCmd.MoveSize Right, Down, Width, Height

Thank Arvin

I was looking at the SetWindowPos API function and I guess there`s something
to do with that function

Do you know how to use it?

regards
Carlos

That may be useful with popup forms, but not with standard Access forms
which are MDI and work within the Access window. Popup forms can function
outside the Access window, and can be used with the MoveSize method.

I can't remember the last time I used SetWindowPos (if at all) since I'll
always use standard built-in VBA code when possible. There is also a
MoveSize action which runs from a macro. I never use macros any more because
they are harder to maintain and have no error handling.
