    Dynamically change order of buttons on a form

    Hi



    I have a home page with various buttons. Depending on the user's security group, only certain buttons will be available. However, when the buttons are hidden that he cannot see, there are big gaps between the buttons. Is there a way that I can "auto arrange" the buttons after I've hidden the ones he cannot see? I'm trying to get each users' home screen to have all the buttons left aligned and overflow into the second column if the first is full.

    Is this possible?

    instead of arranging, just DISABLE the button and there wont be gaps.

    Your thread is asking a different question.
    Amalkp accepted that disabling the buttons was both far simpler and much easier to implement https://www.access-programmers.co.uk...ghlight=Amalkp
