Moving a label without moving the associated control
I am finding form creation in Access 2007 more difficult than in previous
versions. I can't seem to move either a control or it's label without moving both. I did see a post from some time ago (2007) suggesting (while in design mode) to click on the label and when the upper-left corner becomes a cross, click that point, then click the "Remove" button on the arrange tab. I've tried, but this does not work. The cross never appears no matter where on the label (or control) I click. If I click the "Tabular" button first, the cross then appears, but continuing on to click the "Remove" button has no effect. It cannot really be this difficult, so obviously, I'm missing something. Any ideas? |

Moving a label without moving the associated control
Have you tried cut and paste? It will paste in the upper left corner of the
object area - header, detail, or footer - where ever the cursor is. Or re-size to move. To move it over the top of the text box drag the top upward to twice the orignal height, drag the bottom up to return to orignal height, drag right side to right over the text box, and drag left side to even it over the text boc. -- Build a little, test a little.

Moving a label without moving the associated control
If you use the wizard to create the form in Access 2007, it groups a lot of
fields and their labels together. These appear with highlighted borders all together when you select one control. To remove the grouping, choose the 'Arrange' tab, and with the field selected, click the 'Remove' button. Then you can move an individual control or label without the rest moving. -- Daryl S "A Bit Rusty" wrote: I am finding form creation in Access 2007 more difficult than in previous versions.
