expression.TopMargin

expression   Required. An expression that returns one of the above objects.

Remarks

A control's displayed information location is measured from the control's left, top, right, or bottom border to the left, top, right, or bottom edge of the displayed information. Setting the LeftMargin or TopMargin property to 0 places the displayed information's edge at the very left or top of the control. To use a unit of measurement different from the setting in the regional settings of Windows, specify the unit (for example, cm or in).

In Visual Basic, use a numeric expression to set the value of this property. Values are expressed in twips.

You can set these properties by using the property sheet, a macro, or Visual Basic.

TopMargin property as it applies to the Printer object.

Along with the LeftMargin, RightMargin, and BottomMargin properties, specifies the margins for a printed page. Read/write Long.
