I want a form to appear side by side to anothe form. Do I need to specific co-ordinates (if so how) so can I code it so that it will automatically appear beside the form that I want.

Cheers,

cw.
 
I would get the coordinates (and possibly width) of the first form, then use these numbers to position the second.

ie if to appear to right:
form2.left = form1.left - form2.width
form2.top = form1.top

if to left
form2.left = form1.left+form1.width
form2.top = form1.top
 
Hi,

Try this :

'frmA is the main form on the left-side
'frmB will appear on the right of frmA

frmB.Top = frmA.Top
frmB.Left = frmA.Left + frmA.Width
