Cannot see outline of labels when dragging controls in 2007 design

[Dale Fye]

Have noticed recently that when I drag a textbox, combobox, or other control
in a forms design view, I do not have visibility of the outline of the label
that goes with it.

I no longer have 2003 installed, but I could swear that when I moved a
control in a forms design view in that version, I could see the outline of
the label that was attached to it as well.

This is kind of annoying, since it requires several adjustment to make sure
a label does not get cutoff or overlap another control.

Is there a setting that changes this, or am I mistaken regarding this
functionality in 2003?

you are not mistaken regarding Access 2k3, the label does indeed have a
theoretical box around the text. I cannot verify 2007 at the moment, will be
starting the company laptop this afternoon in which case, I will look to see
if there are any settings. Sorry cant be of more help yet but will repost if
I see anything later.

Kindest Regards

The theoretical outline of the label is present in my version of Access 2007,
I wonder if the label box is the same colour as the background or something?
I cant find any setting for the label colour in the Database set up details
behind the Windows Globe (Top left of the database window.)

I will post again should I find any information.
