Disconnecting Labels from text boxes on Access forms

[Dan01]

Sometimes I'd like to move the labels but, without moving the associated text fields. The way I doing it know is by carefully selecting the dark box that shows up on the upper left of the label after selecting it. How can I end their moving as a pair? Thanks, Dan.

Hi!

I don't know if there is a way to disconnect them but, when you first create the text box, you can select the label and cut it. Then you can add your own separate label control that will be totally disconnected.

thanks Jeff. I do do that from time to time, but am always looking for the shortcut! Dan.

Cut the label and immediately paste it. It appears in the top left corner of the form section it was cut from. It is not linked.

Good luck.

Thanks Donaldson! Dan.
