Change Text Box size

[Nmex Ron]

In Access 2007, after creating a form using the wizard, all of the text boxes created for entering data are the same size. When I try to adjust the width of one, they all change width.
How can I unlock or change this feature?

I have deleted a box, and then re-added it. This sometimes works -- however if you get the size close to the size of the other boxes, it “locks in” again.

I appreciate all sincere answers.

boblarson,

Wow, that was too easy! Thanks for the quick and accurate reply.
It worked great.

For others who may try this, I did have to select all the controls in the group, otherwise the unselected controls jumped/moved into the control area that I was trying to separately resize.

Thanks again Bob.
