What are the field position values in VBA?

I want to move fielde about on a form depending on what button I press. I
thought I had it all worked out but it seams that the Left field on the
property sheet is in centimeters, but something else when I use VBA.

Does any body know what the conversion ratio is between the two values?

I tried adding cm to the end of my value in VBA but it didn't like it.
 
Keith,
I take it that you are not in the US.
Here the "properties" box for measurements accepts inches.
When referring to those values in VB, you would use "twips" @ 1400 to our inch... or to
your 100 centimeters... or 14 to 1 centimeter (if I figured correctly)
 
When using the Properties box, Access uses whatever unit of measure has been
specified in Regional Settings (inches or cm.)

There are 567 twips to the centimeter.
 
Doh! Glad I put a caveat in there!
But... if 1cm = .393 inches then wouldn't 1400 * .393 = 550 Twips per centimeter
Just curious...
Al
 
Thanks for your help.

So can I take it then that there are 567 twips to a cm then, and old Bill
can't count properly? :-)
