Solved Design View multiple control selection

[LarryE]

In the past 2 weeks or so, when I open a form in design mode and attempt to select more than two controls, ACCESS will not allow me to select more than two at a time. I used to be able to hold down the Shift and select as many controls as I wanted with my mouse. Now I am restricted to only two at a time. So if I want to select 3 controls to move, ACCESS will no longer allow that.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

Nope.

Try ctrl + left click or "left click sweep select" method.

I am sorry but I cannot find anything about my "channel" and I cannot find any screen that shows what your screen-shot shows. I do have this screen:

but none of these options show my "channel". These options are listed under my Account. When I click About Access I get this:

I cannot find anything about a "channel".

larry - it is on the screen dump you just posted - About Access - Current Channel - Case of TLR ?

So my "channel" is "Current Channel"?

And I believe the Current Channel gets the latest updates as soon as it's available, so you also get the latest bugs.

I'll sleep better knowing that, but I just completely misinterpreted this "channel" thing. Turns out then if I have a Current Channel then my channel is current. Got it now. I've just never had any reason to check my "channel". Thanks to all!

@LarryE
For info the Current Channel (CC) build you are on does contain a number of bugs. Suggest you update to the latest CC build 18925.20138 where the bugs have been fixed
