Grouped objects moving when the group is moved

I have a group of controls on a form positioned exactly where I want. I then decide to move them to make way for new fields. I group them and then move the group. After moving I have to adjust all the labels and fields because they all move 1 or two pixels out of alignment.

Stephen,

Have you tried turning off the Snap to grid function before you do the move?

Yes, with or without snap to grid on I get this problem.

Hmm...I have mine turned off when I move groups of controls and I don't seem to see this porblem. But perhaps it is my old eyes.

You are saying that they shift in relation too each other in the group, right?

Yes, that's right. Exactly.

Is there away to stop this?

Well, the problem is I can't make it happen. When I do what you are describing, and I do it a fair bit, they all stay at the same relative distances from each other. I have tried grouping them, and just lassooing them. It is the same, sorry.
