Positioning Active X controls

[Sean R.]

I have been trying to format a list of items, so that the user can simply
check off (using a checkbox) items in the list, click a command button to
filter/unfilter the list, and click another command button to print the
filtered/full list. I'm running into problems after filtering the list.

Checkboxes for rows that are hidden get forced down. Once the filtering is
removed, the checkboxes do not return to their original position. Any command
buttons that are inline with the hidden rows also disappear once the rows are
hidden. However, the command buttons return to their original position once
the rows are unhidden.

Is there any way to have the checkboxes return to their original position
after filtering is removed? Also, is there anyway to give the command buttons
an absolute position on the screen, so that they do not hide when rows are
hidden?

Thanks for the help.

The only way I can think of is to write code that will reposition them after
each filter activity is completed. I have seen suggestions to attach them to
rows above the areas to be filtered or deleted, but that usually interferes
with the functionality of the checkboxes for most users.
