I have finally started to use 07 and have come across what I am sure has a simple solution. What is it with text boxes in this new version. If I size one text box on a form all the text boxes resize together. How do you set sizing individually?
 
It probably has something to do with what layout schema you has chosen for the from.

If I remember correctly you can view the form in three modes; design, data and a mode with data plus design. In this later mode you can choose tabular design and another design. With this "designs" the controls are connected so you are changing the size for more than one at a time.

So see what happens if you change the size in the pure design mode.


This is what I have seen and read, I don't have 2007 myself so I'm not sure about my answer.
 
Heard access2007 supports "stacked controls". Also supports anchoring of controls that will automatically resize the controls to fit in the form as it resizes.

I haven't used Access2007; so I am unable to show you how to..
