    Question Access 2007 Form Changes Driving Me Nuts

    I have just converted a 2003 database to 2007. If I create a form in 2007 then I find I cannot easily move or re-size fields and the data seems to be in 2 columns. It seems virtually impossible to move or resize fields without cutting and pasting them.



    If I do the same with a form developed in Access 2003 or earlier, movi ng and resizing fields is much easier.

    Why is this? Is there some form property controlling this that I have not found?

    It is just a matter of getting used to the new interface. Does this link help a bit?

    Yes it does help. Its a new facility, perhaps Microsoft should have included this in the On Line Training? (Hint to let MS Know.)

    But that begs a question how do you the reverse? (i.e. Group them back together again. It could be useful to do with groups of related fields on a form.)

    I'm sure if you play around a bit, you will discover the process.
