    Me.Move not taking effect


    I have a simple popup form with a Me.Move command in its OnOpen Event:
    Code:
    Me.Move Left:=3600     '2-1/2 inches
    The documentation seems to vary with respect to syntax, e.g., "Me.Move 3600" or "Me.Move (3600,0). But so far I can't get any of the statements I've tried to take effect.

    Maybe something I've missed in the form's property sheet?

    I also don't know why "Auto Center" doesn't work as well. If it did, I wouldn't even bother with a Move command.

    Works for me too, even if the form is modal. Open it, drag it to another far away spot, save, close and reopen and see what you get.
    Alternatively, perhaps your code is such that the line doesn't even get executed. You did step through to be sure of that?

    Yes, only this time I didn't press F5 at the end of the OnOpen code to Continue and then discovered "this":
    Code:
    Private Sub Form_Load()
    DoCmd.MoveSize 1, 1
    End Sub
    This app is older than dirt and I'm not sure I've ever used DoCmd.MoveSize since the instance seen here. Should have kept the debug stepping going until the form actually opened after all the events had fired. Sorry to have taken up everyone's time.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
