Opening a dialog in a more helpful position

I have the following line in a button event on FormA:

DoCmd.OpenForm "FormB", WindowMode:=acDialog

This opens FormB in the EXTREME upper left of the Access window, where
the user will probably miss it. Is there a way to make FormB open in
the middle of FormA?


Thanks,
Tom
 
If you open the form in Design View, and go to properties, on the
Format tab, there is an option to "Auto Center". Set that to yes and
the form will automatically open to the middle of your screen.
