Hi,

I am new to VB programming.  I created an app that has a form, I ended up
writing  new procedures into my form module. Recently I read somewhere
about placing my code into a standard module (*.bas) instead.  Currently,
to change the text in my textbox I have text1.text = "David".  If I move my
procedure to a standard module (*.bas) will I have to reference the form
where control resides (form1.text1.text).    In this app I am only using 1
form anyway.

I am also doing data entry.  I add a textbox and in front of it I added a
label:

FIRST NAME:  _______________

My textbox has a border style of 1-fixed single and appearance is 3d.  I
wanted my label to be border style: 0.  However, the horizontal alignment
of the 2 controls is a little off.  If I change my label to 1 in the border
style it will work.  But I would rather not do this.  I also have ms-access
and I don't have this problem when I add controls on a form.

Thanks for any info,

David :)

In answer to the second question, forms in VB, have a grid.  When you add
or move an object it automatically 'snaps' to this grid.  To sort out your
problem, you will have to turn  off this snapping to grid.  This is done
by, clicking the menuitem, 'Tools', then 'Options'.  Select the tab
'Enviroment' (should already be selected), then untick the checkbox 'Align
Controls to Grid'.  This should let you move your objects around without
the limit of the grid.

1.  You can pass a form as a parameter to your procedure located in a
module.  You can then reference the original form using the parameter name.

    Public Sub FooBar(SubjectForm As Form)
    ' Your code here
    SubjectForm.Text1.Text = "David"
    End Sub

2.  I manually realign my labels by setting the labels' Top property to the
TextBox.Top + 45.  This assumes a ScaleMode of Twip.
