RE: forms

Hi Samantha

Thank you for your question

Select the text boxes that you want to format.

Click onto the "Arrange" tab, to bring up the arrange ribbon.

Then click on either "Equal Vertical" or "Equal horizontal"

There are also controls there for increasing or decreasing the separation

Regards

Stephen

Access tip:

Closing form after a certain time period

To make a form close automatically after a certain time period, you need to assign the close function to a macro.

Save the macro and ope up the form in design view. open the Properties sheet.

In the TimerInterval property enter the length of time you want the form open for. This should be in milliseconds, so for instance if you want the form open for 5 seconds enter 5000, for an minute enter 60000.

You now need to attach your macro (to execute the Close action) to the OnTimer event property of the form.
