Add field to continuous form

[hermanko]

Hi,

I have a continous form based on a query and I need to include an
additional field on the form (that exists in the query). I've tried
opening the Field List and dragging. it kind of works, but i can't
separate the label and txtbox into different sections of the form.
Since my form is displayed columnar, i need the label in the Form
Header section, while the text box is in the Details. any suggestions?

thx!

Select the label. Cut it.
Paste it into the Form Header.
Move it where ever you want it.

herman,
You have to seperate the Label from the TextContol.
Drag the field (w/label) into your detail section.
Select just the label, and use Ctrl-Insert to copy it.
Select the Header section, and use Shift-Insert to past it there.
Go back to your field in the Detail section and select and delete the label

Thanks. I didn't realize it was that simple.

Is it ok that I lose the association with the textbox then? it doesn't
seem to let me re-associate it with my textbox cuz i guess it's in
separate sections.

It's just a label. It doesn't need to be associated with any control.
You could also have just cut the attached label, then added a new
label from the tool box.
