Copied controls are in different location on form when viewed in design / form view

[Jarryd]

Hi all,

This has really annoyed me. I have just spent ages in a form designing it
and getting the layout just right. I had a text box (with no label field)
that I needed to copy several times and stack the copies directly underneath
it, evenly spaced. I copied it because the ones underneath it were going to
have exactly the same formatting and very similar data source, the only
difference would be the Top property value. So I do this in Design View and
it all looks sweet. Then I flip to form view and all the copied text boxes
are about 10 cm lower than they were. I flip back to design view and it
they go back to where I put them. I went through all the format properties
but I cannot find anything obvious.

What give!!?? Please help.

TIA,

Jarryd

Found it! Anchoring. Sheesh, hectic. What a change this Access 2007
animal is. Going to take me a while to get my head round all these fancy
bells and whistles!!

Could you upload a screen shot to my ftp server? Without seeing this, I
don't think it will be easy to diagnosis.

Hi Danny,

I nailed it right after I sent the post, go figure! I spent about an hour
fumbling around, then gave up and sent the post, then kazaam, it hit me.
Typical.

Thanks anyway.
