I have 60 controls on my form I need to move in unison. Is there a way to
'lasoo' them to do this without shift-clicking every one.
Thanks.
 
60 controls seems a lot, however could you hit Ctrl-A to select all controls
and then shift-click the ones you don't want included?

Alternatively, go through the process to select all 60 by shift-clicking and
then use Format, Group to create this as a group.
 
Unfortunately, neither of those options is very desirable since I have about
200 other controls on this form (They are headings and month slots for
tracking 60 months of data).
There is something mentioned in Access Help about moving controls as a group
but I cannot figure out how it works.
 
There are a couple of ways to select multiple objects on a form.
1. Draw an imaginary box around them with the cursor. It should show up as a
dotted line box when you move the mouse with the button depressd. If there
are several "are
2. Clicking in the left or top rulers will select everything to the right and
down from the click, respectively.

If there are several "areas" to select, you can hold down the shift key while
doing either of these.
 
That was my second suggestion. You have to create the group and then you
can use it. You'll need to select the 60 controls, and use Format, Group to
initially create the group. From then on it will be available to select as
a Group.
