Hi Jacqueline, Thanks for pointing out this routine.
I have some modifications I need to make to it though. I have to check to see if any items are locked, and unlock them before changing the location and then re-lock them after the change. The number of controls also includes groups which are made up of buttons so I will have to modify my calculation there. I also read your informative links to the other menu tutorials.
