Adding field: separating label from data

[Joseph N.]

[Access 2003] When I add a field from the field list to a form, the
label and data (value) container come along together and side by
side. That is not how the rest of my forms are arranged; I generally
need the label over the value. I cannot find any way to split up the
new label from its bound data (value) field. How can this be done??

You can move it by grabbing the black square block "handle" on the
upper left corner of the label; or, you can select the label, type
Ctrl-X to cut it to the clipboard, and then ctrl-V to paste it onto
the "detail" section of the form. It will appear at the upper left
corner and can be moved where you wish.
