Moving fields around in a Form - Microsoft Access / VBA

Mark

Is there a way to just move the field values and not the field descriptions
within a form in design view? I try to grab just those values and it takes
the descriptions with it. Some field names are a bit long and are running
into the values. I just want to move the values over a few grids so I can
see the description. There has to be a way. Thanks

Select the control you wish to move.
The control and it's attached label become selected.
There will be a square in the upper left corner of the control.
Move the cursor over that square and it becomes a finger pointer.
Left-click on that square, hold and drag, and you can move that
control without moving it's attached label (and vice versa).

Thanks! Works great. Now can I do it for a range of field values not just
one at a time? I want to move a bunch of them the same distance.

Sometimes what I do is make my labels all the same size. Click to
select the labels and from the menu select Format/Size. Then I can
select Format/Align to move them into aligned positions.

Capturing <Enter> and moving focus to next tabindex

by: jerrygarciuh | last post by:

Hello, I have been playing with various Googled solutions for capturing the <Enter> key to suppress form submission. My first question is whether anyone has a script that works in all common browsers? The script bellow is IE only. It fails FF 1.0 and NN 7. Also, if I can trap the keypress I would like to use it to tab to the next tabindex.

Why does moving a Form cause the Resize event to fire?

by: Peter Anthony | last post by:

It seems kind of strange that if a Form is just moved that Resize events fire. This makes it hard to tell the difference betweeen resizing and moving a Form. I can understand why resizing might also be considered a move (since the Form's location can be thought to be based on one from Top/Bottom and one from Left/Right, and some of these WILL change when resizing), but can't understand why JUST moving is considered resizing. I was trying...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
