Attach Label to Control (1 Viewer)

[modest]

I want to attach labels to their respective controls (e.g., textboxes, comboboxes). Does anyone know how to attach the labels to the controls?

It used to be that Access would produce a little error box that said they were unattached, but that is not coming up anymore. Tools>Options>Error Checking is still checked and it comes up for newly created errors, but how do I re-check for errors?

Hello:

Procedure:

Drop a single label on your form.
Then, Copy the label
Then click on your text box that has no label
Then select paste from the menu

The label now should be attached

Tools >debug>Compile

And if you have labels you want to attach you can cut the existing label, select the control and paste the label to it

Yeah I know the cut and past thing, but I had already formatted and renamed them all; I kinda wanted to avoid rework.

I'll try the Compile technique next time, however I believe compiling only works for VBA. I'm not sure how to recompile the database outside of VBA.
