I want to have greater control in postioning control objects on Access forms
in design mode. I seem to remember being able to do this in other Office
applications using the Alt + arrow keys? Is there a similar keyboard action
in Access in desgin of forms and reports?
 
In Design view of a form or report, you can select multiple controls and use
the arrow keys to nudge them, or type a value into the Properties box (Top
or Left) to get them to line up.

Have you tried Alt? Works for me. Resizing can be done using Shift.

Thanks CTRL + arrow is a nudge; whilst just the arrow moves a pixel at a
time. CTRL + Arrow gives more finer movement - Terry

Thanks again
