I am a long time Code Designer user and I have switched to the RDP DDS
Designer. There is one major issue I am having with the RDP DDS Designer
which is frustrating and is a major loss in productivity. That is the fact
that relative positioned field (ex: +1) cannot be individually moved
without moving everything after that which is relative. In Report
Designer, the whole line moves. In Screen Designer, nothing moves unless I
make them absolute positions. Code Designer would move them without
problem. The easiest way I have found to convert from relative to absolute
is to click the last relative field of the line and unchecking "Relative".
Then I have to remember where it was at before and reposition the field.
Then I go down the line to the left unchecking and repositioning. This is
a waste of time.
I have checked the archives to no avail. It seems like it would be
possible to convert relative to absolute fairly easily. I could probably
write a program to do this but I don't have the time right now.

Does anyone know of a function or alternative to get around this? Does
anyone know of a future RDP fix for this?

Thanks.
Craig Strong
