Form on-screen position location

[QMDirk]

Can anyone tell me how to make a popup form appear in the middle of the screen? Thanks.

there's a form property called "auto center" I believe. set it to TRUE.

Oh. Hell. That was easy. Thanks.

Note that autocenter only centres the form horizontally.
If you also want it centred vertically, additional vba code is needed

Also notice the auto resize and fit to screen properties

You might be interested in my "Nifty Sticky Form Builder" The form will pop up where you left it last time, so if you put it in the middle it will pop back up in the middle. More information about the "Nifty Sticky Form Builder" Here!

That should happen automatically with any standard form provided auto center is switched off.
In some cases, you may need to save the form before closing it.

What does yours do that's doesn't happen with a standard form?

Ah. You're referring to a popup form.
I said any standard form....
EDIT ….but even with a popup I can get it to stick if I save it before closing
