    Setting the right shape of a form

    When I am working on the Lesson 37 shown here:http://www.functionx.com/access/Lesson37.htm



    I get to the point

    Click the label that was added to the subform and press Delete (to remove the label). You may
    also need to move the subform and resize the tab sheet.

    Now I assume the label to be removed is the original title of the subform or sbfVideos. That is the
    label that must be removed. It also says "You may also need to move the subform and resize the tab sheet."

    I will say that you do. My tab sheet is about 2 3/8 inches in width. I want to move it so the width increase
    to 3.25 as shown in the figure in the tutorial right after it says that you need to resize tab sheet.

    When I grab the far right orange line and pull to the right the whole subform moves! That is not what I want.
    I merely want to increase the width of the form as I said above.

    Also in this narrow initial file when I switch to form, it cuts off parts, usually the Length. Of course, that is not what I
    want.

    So any help appreciated on the two questions above. Thanks in advance.

    Respectfully,

    Lou Reed

    grabbing the outline will move the subform.
    grabbing the 'dot' on the edge of the outline (on center the 4 sides) will stretch the subform.
    (or the corner)

    I tried what you said - it worked.

    Again, what is the label on the subform, that I must remove (the label that is)?

    Also, when I am on the subform it does not the actual values of #, track title, Length, etc. I am guessing that it is not connect to a record source.

    I cannot see what is the record source on the subform. How do I do it? I went to properties and it did not show.

    Okay, I got it. It shows the form when you click on the navigation buttons.

    Again though what I is the label that was added to the subform that I must delete?

    And exactly where is that 'point' - what section and item?

    I am guessing the instruction is to remove the label that is automatically created and attached to the subform container control.
