Remarks
Only the Left argument is required. However, to specify any other arguments, you must specify all the arguments that precede it. For example, you cannot specify Width without specifying Left and Top. Any trailing arguments that are unspecified remain unchanged.
This method overrides the Moveable property.
If a form is modal, it is still positioned relative to the Access window, but the values for Left and Top can be negative.
In Datasheet View or Print Preview, changes made using the Move method are saved if the user explicitly saves the database, but Access does not prompt the user to save such changes.
Example
The following example determines whether or not the first form in the current project can be moved; if it can, the example moves the form.
If Forms(0).Moveable Then
Forms(0).Move _
Left:=0, Top:=0, Width:=400, Height:=300
Else
MsgBox "The form cannot be moved."
End If
