Hi....if you are experienced with Access07 ; can you briefly explain the
phenomena when one used the Report Design Wizard all the fields created are
"bound" together...and when you go to alter one it alters the entire
group.....so to speak...

and the data field is "bound" to its label....I can't seem to tweak the
label names

have floundered around to turn off this field group binding but not sure if
it is possible.... tia


I think it is supposed to be one of the "fantastic enhancements" of the
2007 version.

When in design view, select the controls, find the "Arrange" Tab, and
hit the "Remove" button in the "Control Layout" Group.

You should be able to "tweak" the lables, at least the text, even when
it is "grouped" as above. If you wish to manipulate them individually,
after removing the layout thingie, you can either drag'n'drop from the
upper left of the label control, or deattach it (cut/paste).
