Richard, in Lesson 10, you say @ 7:20 that the entire row will move as a unit once you highlight the first name field. As I follow along on my own database, the entire row does NOT move. In fact, when I open a new simple form, the rows are not even aligned to begin with. Is there a setting in Access I have to change to get the behavior you describe?  Thanks! Bonnie

Reply from Richard Rost:

If you create a simple form following the method that I used, you should be in LAYOUT VIEW, and your form controls should be enclosed in something called a "Layout" which treats the text boxes and labels as if they're in rows and columns. You can REMOVE this Layout (in fact, I personally can't stand it and will show you how to remove it in a future class) but by default it should be ON. I wouldn't worry too much about it, though. In the next class (Level 2) I'm going to show you how to build a form from scratch WITHOUT a layout. You'll have direct control over the size and position of each text box and label on the form.
