    Customising Multiple Item forms

    Hello,


    I am trying to create a form for a query so that I can filter on a chosen record and have the data presented in a more reader friendly format: the idea being that I have the common data show once in the form header and the rest show in the detail section (kind of like a form with subform type)
    First I tried using the form wizard to create a Tabular layout form which I could have easily customised, but I am unable to use this because I get an error message telling me the wizard cannot create my form due to me choosing too many fields.
    In my next attempt, I elected to use the Multiple Item form option, which seems to work OK but presents the following problems:
    1) It has not included all of the data fields in my query... though it looks like I can add these manually
    2) I am unable to reorganise the text boxes and labels the way I would like, as they all seem to be locked together Is there a setting somewhere that I can change to stop this from happening?

    Failing that, does anybody have any other suggestions on how I can do this?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Not totally following, but for #2 highlight one or more controls, right click and select Layout/Remove.
