Move objects on a form with VBA

[genxiii]

Hey guys, i'm trying to figure out how you can move an object to a differnt position on a form using VBA. I don't want to use .Left =(position on screen) and designate the exact location where the object should be. I want to subtract or add a certain twip distance from/to an object's current location to move it to a new position on the form using VBA. Any help would be great. thanks

Hi!

You can use .Left = .Left +- #ofTwipstoMove. You will probably want to run a check to make sure you aren't trying to move the control off of the form.

I placed an image control on a form. Called it img1.
I put a command button on the same form. Called it cmdMove.
In the command button's On Click event, I put...

Private Sub cmdMove_Click()
img1.Left = img1.Left + 100
End Sub

This moves my image 100 twips to the right each time I click it. I could put another button and put

img1.Left = img1.Left - 100

and this would bring it back to the left.

Hope that helps.
