MS Access 2007: Frozen Forms and Reports

[JHHPavel]

I converted from MS Access 2003 to the 2007 version about a year ago. Recently, I've had occasion to design a couple of forms and reports for a small utility database. When I use the wizard to generate them, the fields and labels are frozen in place, I can't move them around when I switch to design mode. To get around this, I delete the fields I want to move, then bring that field down from the "Add Existing Fields" icon at the top of the screen.

While this is a workable solution, I would suspect (or hope) that the folks at MicroSoft have a way to un-freeze the fields so that they can be moved around the playing field in design mode. However, I can't find how this can be done; has anyone found the secret?

Thanks,

Paul

Have you installed SP2?
Other options: Don't use the wizard. Try compact & repair. decompile recompile the accdb.
