  It is not clear what you are trying to do
  on the design page the top of the memo object is the amount down from the top of the band.
  it has no reference to the position on the output page, the report engine is controlling that depending upon what objects have been processed so far.
  if you want to control output use the engine object curx cury values. rather than try to alter design.
  read the user manual on using the engine object.

  I've just discovered that the position values in the design-time property editor are in centremeters (I guess it would be inches if you're using the imperial system), but at runtime they use pixels.
  I was trying to adjust the Left property of a number objects at runtime by adding an offset of 4.33. At first I thought it wasn't working at all - until I realised it was moving by 4 pixels instead of 4cm.

  the design time editor uses whatever you set it for menu>view>options.
