changing the width of a field in form design view

[DC27]

this must be a simple one - I cant work out what I need to change on the form to allow me to amend the width of one field. Whichever method I use, when I change the width of one field, it amends all to the same width.

Which form property do I need to change.

Marvellous new feature in 2007?

and i can't move the fields either....?

IIRC, highlight the control(s), right click and select Layout/Remove.

Some people like it, but I'm not among them.

that's great, thanks guys.

If there's a box to tick where i can stop this happening as default, that'd be great. I've looked in the Access Options and the only obvious one (enable layout view) hasn't helped.

Any suggestions? Have tried searching with no luck as yet

sorry, I don't know of a default setting you can use to disable that.
