Adding a table with a button, how to specify location?

[Former Community Member]

I have a form were a table is duplicated using a button and the add instance script.  Is there a were to specify which direction or location the table is added.  I guess by default it is created below the original table.  I would like to have it created to the right of the original table.  Can this option be changed or scripted in somehow?  Thanks

Hi,

If you are repeating the whole table, then it is inside of a flowed subform. The default is flowed from top to bottom. If you change this to western style, objects will flow from left to right.

However this is on the basis that there is space to the right of the form to receive the new instance.

Here are some examples:

Thanks, I had tried Western Style but I guess I didn't have quite enough room on the right of the table.
