    Separating Controls Question

    I've created a report in access 2010. Later I needed to add an additional existing field. When I add that field two controls (I think that would be the right word) appears. One is the "title" field, one is the actual field of information. I want the "title field" to be in a different section of my report than the information field. (example: in the page header section for the "title field" and the informational field in the details section) I do not know how to separate those two fields so each can go in different report sections. I resort to adding the field in the two different areas, then delete the control I don't want in each section. Seems like there should be an easier way. Thanks in advance for any help!

    If it's the one I'm thinking of, a newer "feature" that I don't like. Highlight one or more controls, right-click and select Layout/Remove.

    while I think I understand what you are saying - - I've never had any problem just deleting only the label and copying just the label into the section it belongs...... a very routine task in fact during design.....

    even when the layout controls are implemented although I don't often use them....

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
