Center Overlapping Controls

Tom
Hi - I'd like to center two overlapping controls (i.e., have it so
that the centers of the two controls are aligned vertically,
horizontally or both). The Fomat:Align menu item doesn't support
this. Any good solutions, or do I break out my calculator and do it
manually?

Access 2002 if it makes a difference.

Thanks

Tom

If they are the same width, set the Left property of each to be the
same. Otherwise either do the math or eyeball it. If you can get
within 5 pixels (or twips) it's not likely many would notice.

Unfortunately, not the same width. Thanks for the idea though.
