If you find one, I imagine many will appreciate a link to it in your thread. However, your issue might be due to not knowing shortcuts or tips for designing, since any add in will likely only replicate native Access functionality anyway. If that is the case, then the add in will only be able to do what you can already do but may not know how to. F'rinstance, did you know that
- if you select a control (or a bunch) ctrl+< (arrow keys) moves a tiny amount left (or right,up,down)
- if you select and only press arrow key, control moves a greater amount?
- if you select and shift <> control width grows?
- you can have a master form loaded with all controls with properties you set, then copy a (or a selection) of controls and drop them on a new form, thereby having all with the font, background, color, etc. properties already set?
- that there is apparently a way to set your properties and then all new controls from the toolbox will have those properties? (sorry, can't again find where I read that at the moment)
- that layout view is pretty much a WYSIWYG way to design forms and reports
- that groupings make design a pain (I always remove them if a wizard was involved)
- that Alt+J+A gives you all the ribbon Arrange tab commands if you like keyboard shortcuts
- that an unwanted change is fixed lickety-split with ctrl+z? That a repeat is simply ctrl+Y?
I suppose I could go on, but you might be more interested in an add-in as you mentioned. Besides, that's about all I can think of for now.
