Trevor,

Developer Studio introduced enhanced functionality when dealing with the vertical alignment of fields to a grid. In Developer Studio, the developer can choose to align fields on their top or bottom edge, or not to use vertical alignment at all.

From your description of the behaviour below it sounds like you have vertical aligment switched off. To switch it on, go to Layout->Align To Grid and make sure that either Top or Bottom is checked. Switching on Top would give you the same behaviour as the Windows Admin Tool, which did not have this capability and thus always used Top alignment.

This is an enhancement over the Windows Admin Tool functionality, and might explain

Developer Studio it appears as though the "Align to Grid" feature only
works horizontally.  Vertically I seem to be able to place the field
anywhere.  Does anyone have any ideas on this?  Should I be using a
different method for form layout now?
Thanks,
Trevor.
