Access 2007 Form Formatting confusion!

[davesmith202]

I am having trouble to get to grips with the Access 2007 Form. In earlier versions, I could rapidly create attractive looking Forms, but the 2007 version seems to have a mind of its own!

I have a Form in what I think is design view, although the top left toggle button shows View. When I try to move a bunch of checkboxes and their labels around, it won't let me. I get this large orange bar that goes all the way to the right of the Form.

What is going on? Any good tutorials on the formatting changes in Access 2007?

Thanks,

Dave

After some research, I think it has to do with Anchoring. But I have a list of checkboxes and their labels. How can I have more than 1 on each row? I can't seem to drag them to do that.

Is there a way to remove anchoring?

Sorted! Highlight the controls you want to remove the anchor for, then click Arrange>Remove (under the Control Layout group)
