Programatically set listbox position 1

[ZOR]

I am trying to get access to a listbox in design view but move its position when its displayed. Any advice how to do it as it seems to be a hit and miss job setting its top and height properties in code.

Howdy ZOR . . .

Just set the [blue]Top[/blue] & [blue]Left[/blue] properties of the listbox. From VBA the units are in [blue]twips[/blue].
1 inch = 1440 twips
Also the position is relative to the top left of the section where it resides which is 0,0 (x,y). Increasing units move down or to the right.

See Ya! . . . . . .

Thanks. I was setting the top and left positions forgetting the listbox already had a start position. I then went to using

Me.List173.Top = Me.List173.Top - 1150
Me.List173.Height = 1250

Used it in the form load. However how do you set x,y co-ordinates, is this a move command (have never used move so guessing). Regards

Sorry about the confusion. I quoted x, y just to be explicit of the axes.

[blue]Left[/blue] is the x axis.
[blue]Top[/blue] is the y axis.

According to your post, you've moved the listbox 0.79 inches left of its current position, and set its height to 0.87 inches.
