Sorry, pasting an object onto a form or report will always place it in
the upper left corner of that form's/reports section.
Why not just write down the objects left and top property values
before cutting/copying it. Then, after pasting it onto a different
form or report, set it's left and top values to whatever the original
objects left and top values were.

Cause we are lazy and computer should know where the cursor is. A good
sugestion for future versions.

Thanks for confirmation. Writing down the coordinates is probably more work
than dragging the object from the upper left to the desired location.

But seriously, when I paste a file on my desktop by rightclick, the file
is just dropped there...

Your right, when I'm designing forms it is kind of iritating. Copy and
paste buttons from one tab to another in a tabed form is really iritating.
Only by suggestions like yours will it improve. Pete
