finally got back to this;

tried to follow your instructions - but in design view, select the controls,
find the "Arrange" Tab, so far so good

and hit the "Remove" button in the "Control Layout" Group.

can't find a 'Remove' button and the Control Layout group all seems
inactive....

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.

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).
