Is it possible to open a popup form and tell it its location on the screen?

I would like to be able to open a popup form and position it so that I can see a certain control on the form behind it (which is in a tabbed style). Is this possible?

Yes indeed. Forms have a .Move() method which allows you to move it as well as resize it.

The design of a form can also be set to place it in a specific position relative to the Top-Left corner of the Access window if the .AutoCentre property is set to False. This is taken from the last saved position.

Perfect! It took a little research to figure out how, but I got it to work. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
