Conditional items placed on report (label) & In Same Location 1

[EdAROC]

Inherited a program to print Scheduling Labels (1-1/2" x 4") for operations on a job, using rpt. Some data is common on all labels (e.g. Job#, Customer Name) Some data is particular to an operation. Examples:
Printing - List of inks, File#, Die#
Sheeter - Raw Material to use, Roll Size, Net sizes
FYI - The top row and left margin items are common to all, the area in the middle of the label is where Operation specific data is place, hence, they cover each other in design mode.
On the label, for example, the Printing File# is in the same location as the Sheeter Roll Size
When editing these items on the rpt I must click on a common object, i.e. Customer name, and then tab through the objects until the desired one is reached.
Does anyone suggest a technique to make this easier?

Not that i can think of...unless you want to double click one and click the drop down on the properties box to select which object you want.

Well, that would do the trick!
Except, I can't seem to get it to work - double click and select from drop down. Double click has same effect as click. Using Access 2000. Is this functionality after this version?
Thanks.

Im sorry. I wouldn't know. I started with 2002. It seems like it should be a common function though. Is there not a properties window? I just opened up access and looked for other ways to open the properties window, they are:
(this is in design view, of course)

Double-Click the object
Single-Click, then press F4.
Single-Click, then View > Properties.

Then the top of that window has a drop down with the name of every object.

This is interesting. I selected multiple objects and the Properties Box does indicate "Multiple selection" in the title bar. Don't see any drop down. Only the usual Control menu (Is that the correct name? Has Move, Size, Close).
