Can someone tell me how I can set the margins in a text box in Access97? My
text is right next to the left border and looks bad....I want to move it
right a little.

Thanks,
Chace

On A2K and newer...
Your label and text controls have a left margin property.
Look on the Format tab of the controls property sheet.
 
I am aware of the left margin propery in A2K and newer versions.
Unfortunately I am forced to use Access version 97 on my corporate computer
which does not have this "left margin" property in the properties sheet.

So....is there a way to set margins in a text box in Access97? (thru VBA
possibly?)

Nope!
Perhaps you can simply re-position the control away from the control
next to it, or if you are displaying a border around the control,
don't, and use a rectangle instead.
 
Thanks. The box idea is a good work-around.
