    Desiging Form From Table

    I am in my table and I click the crete form button on top and it lays out a form for me, which is fine.



    What I want to do now is to move things around, resize fields, etc., but nothing seems to work. If I delete a label, the corresponding data field is also deleted. If I want to click to move a field, all the fields move, etc. I am in form design. What is going on ?

    With your form open in design view. Click on arrange in the ribbon and then click on the remove icon. It will separate the controls and allow you to delete or move your controls as necessary.

    Another Wizard issue. Sometimes it is better to design from scratch with out using the wizard.

    That's it exactly....and if you want to move the label, click the anchor or vice versa for the text box...or both, using the + sign.
