We have just updated to Access 2007 from Access 2003. As with any MS Office upgrade it requires weeks of wasted time learning where MS stuck once familiar commands. But that's another story!!!

To wit: Having just created a form in Access 2007 that includes many text boxes, I now need to arrange them in a different order. Grabbing each and holding down the left mouse key to drag to another spot no longer seems to work in MS 2007. Nor does highlighting several boxes and trying to drag to a new location with the left mouse key. Nor does highlighting a box and using the arrow keys.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How does one move around text boxes on a form in layout view?
 
Highlight one or more of the textboxes, right-click and select Layout/Remove. See if that accomplishes what you want.
 
pbaldy: Sorry for the late response, but just got back. Thanks for the tip, it did the trick. I appreciate your prompt assistance.
 
No problem. I hate that new "feature".
