Hi Everyone,
I try to position the (text) controls on the report by code. Something Like:

On format()
Me.Consignee.Top = 4
Me.StreetName.Top = 5
etc...

Is there a way to do that?

No drama mate but remember that measurements are done in TWIPS when coding this way. 1cm=567 twips...

Yoou can do it, but it usually requires a consideraable bit of math to assure that the controls do not overlap (consider both the Horizontal and Vertical aspects). Then, the visual aspects also are of some interest / concern. There are threads in these fora (tek-Tips) which illustrate some techniques.
