My mistake; yes you are right - when a control is highlighted then the
Remove button is activated; but when I press that it literally removes
that control.

My original question is about breaking this group binding that is
established via Report Wizard. There is the big group off all the fields
that is bound together with a yellow dotted line....and then each individual
contro/label is bound together with a yellow dotted line.

This yellow dotted line is what I want to get rid of. Not the fields.

Let's say I really don't need a label (but do need the field) because the
label is obvious to the reader and I need more space for some of the other
labels....I can't remove the label without removing the field too that is
connected to it with the yellow dotted lines....

....that's just one instance of where it would be helpful to be able to turn
off this yellow dotted line feature; and can't seem to find anyway to turn
it off if you have created the report using report wizard....

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

Strange.

On my setup, it shows the Remove button both in layout view and design
view. Only time it is disabled, is when no controls are selected, or the
control layout is alredy removed.

I e - it looks exactly like how it does in the topic "New control
layouts to help create polished forms and reports" here

But then, I haven't familiarized myself much with this new "feature",
yet. Hopefully someone else can give guidance...
