Thank you Larry for the details.
The main intention is to somewhat give the user an option to modify the
start(left-top), width and maybe the font used during run-time for a total
of 3 textbox controls.
Drag, etc was used to give the user a feeling of such. Thus the code (if I
can ever firnd a starting point!) will be kind of following a rectangle on
the form for its coordinates and inserting the resulting figures into the
relevant variables. Then the report should print using this new location.
Rather than entering the values.
Is it still the impossible?
