Hi,

I am in desiging a form and trying to rearrange and fix the sizes of the
labels and textboxes in design view. Currently, when i format the size of the
text box and labels, all the other ones in the same column change as well. In
addtion, i can not move text boxes and labels to where i desire on the form.

In general, I am wondering how to fix this issue and allow to me change the
sizes and placement of individual labels and textboxes.

Note: I was not a problem with Access 2003.
 
In Access2007 there is a new feature called a stacked form which keeps
columns lined up and sized the same. If you put your form in design mode
and then go to the Arrange tab and select one text box and click on Remove
you can take that textbox out of the stacked controls. Note: it will jump
and look messy at first, but when it is not stacked it works exactly like
Access 2003.

In the long run you will like this feature. Try googling stacked forms and
you will probably find some videos describing this feature.

HTH,
Mark
