Creating & positioning text boxes using VBA code

[Corsica]

In the 'on_load' event of a form we want to write code that creates and positions a series of text boxes [that will then be seen on the form...]

Any ideas etc. would be much appreciated.

Maybe you mean in vb5 & 6. This is VBA forum for excel, word etc. I'm i right ?

Hi,

No, I mean the version of VBA that is part of the Access 2000 environment. - Sorry, should have said this at the outset.

I've used Access for years and had never before needed to create and position a series of text boxes in the 'on-load' event of a form...

Take a look at the Application.CreateControl method in the Access VBA help file.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanx, PH!

- Have just looked at the tips that the hyperlinks took me to. Will look for Application.CreateControl in the VBA help files a bit later.
