Not sure if this is the reason, but you may be using the character coordinate system (set in you form-level properties). If you turn off grid-snap during design time, you can then place your buttons anywhere on the window. But after you generate your form (also after you save and then re-open your form), the buttons will move back to the character grid. You can alleviate this problem by changing to use an inches or centimeters grid.

Forms_DDL('COMMIT');

This should work. I do it all the time. Sometimes I use parameters as well.
