Question about placing forms on the screen

[Guest]

I have three forms that are opened using the "autoexec" macro when I first
open the DB. The "autocenter" property is set to "no" for all three.

One of the forms is not in the place I would like it to be so when I open
the DB I change its position and then save. When I then switch between that
form and another it is fine.

When I re-open the database the form goes back to its original position and
then returns to the new position after I have switched it with the other form.

It is slightly annoying!

HI

Open the form in Design view. Ensure the Moveable is set to Yes (at the
bottom of the format column on the form's properties box). Close form.

Open the form in normal view - move it to where you want it then press
Control S

There is no "moveable" property

bottom of the format column on the form's properties box). Close form.

In Access 2003 it is the last item on the Format tab list (property sheet).
What version of Access are you using?

Check Help for information about MoveSize. Try using MoveSize in the form's
Open event.

I don't know if this will work for you, but it has for me when I had a
similar problem.

Open the form in Design view. Move it to the desired location. Then
while it is still in Design View Save the Form. Next, while it is
still in Design View close the form.
