PRB: Pressing SHIFT While Dragging Not Working on New Control
'Article ID: Q90109

Creation Date: 08-OCT-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

Pressing SHIFT while dragging a control is used to restrict movement of a control horizontally or vertically. However, this procedure works only if the item is not selected beforehand.

RESOLUTION

A better method, if the control is already selected, is to click anywhere in the form, and then to reselect the control and move it by pressing SHIFT while dragging the control.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 Create a new form. Add a text box to the form. Hold the SHIFT key down.  Click the border of the text box and move it around. If the text box was not selected before you performed the above steps, you will notice the restricted movement (either horizontal or vertical, depending on which text box border you clicked).
