Can anyone tell me why I can't change the top property for a text box on a
report? It accepts some numbers, but I've noticed that they're relational in
some way or another. One more catch...I don't know code. Anyone who could
help would be doing us a huge favor!!!
 
Where are you attempting to change the top property? If you are doing this
in code, please share your code. Most size and positioning properties are
actually set in Twips within code.
 
I do not use code. We are in design view of the report. We right click on
the text box and then choose properties, then top property. It always wants
to round or change the number that I enter, but I need an exact, four decimal
number to make the report work (it's for labels). Is there a way that I can
get to the code and then change it?
 
You can use code in the On Format event of the section containing the
control.

Me.txtYourTextBox.Top = 1234 'number of twips
