can we move Text object from one location to another

[#1]

Hi all

Is it possible to move Text object from one place to another on the same sheet..

I have a variable which will have the values like 1,2,3,4.

I would like to move the text object from one place another place, based on the value of the variable or in any other way if possible

Thanks

Ganesh

I don't think you can move the text box, but you might be able to give the feeling of move by creating two text boxes and conditionally hiding/showing them based on the variable value

Hi sunny

Yeah.. I have done that.. But i have been asked to do, if it is possible to move.

Thanks

May be using a Macro it might be possible. But I won't be the right guy for the Macro

I will try that way.. But i heard, use of macro is not suggested in terms of security when we are uploading the app on the server.. Is it true?

Yes to certain extent it might cause performance issues and maintenance would be a problem

Well you can read here about Macro's here Macros are Bad. But I read somewhere (may be in the comments section of the same thread, but can't find it right now) that the Macros are bad because they won't work everywhere. On desktop they would, but Access Point they would not. So I guess it might not be an option for you since you want to make it work on the Access Point. The only think left is the work around which you already have implemented
