How to position a pop-up subform in relation to the main form?

[sueb]

I have a subform that pops up when requested by a button on the main form. Is there a way that I can specify exactly where it displays in relation to the main form?

[slenish]

Use the Command in the OnOpen of the subForm

DoCmd.MoveSize 0,0,0,0
..............[Right/left],[up/Down],Width,Height

Great! What are these units? Pixels? Inches?

[slenish]

They are called Twips. 1/1440 of an inch.

So for example in the first 0 the larger the number it will move the form more to the right side of the screen the smaller the number it will move it more to the left. same with up and down and so on. You will have to play around with it some so you can see how it works.

try doing something like this

DoCmd.MoveSize 10, 300
or
DoCmd.MoveSize 10000, 3000

you will see the differences.

Great! I calculated exactly how big and where I wanted my window to be, and it came out perfectly--thanks!
