Changing the labelling of a form field

Post by chedderslam »

I am using the wizard to generate a form. The labels that it generates arfe the field names from the table. I would like to change them to something more user friendly. I can't figure out how to do it. When I try to edit the form and select the text, it says it is a multi-selection. I have tried changing some of the properties but can't get it to work.

Thanks.

With the form open for editing, right click on the label. Select Group then "Enter Group" that will let you edit the controls separately.

You can also ungroup them completely, or you can use the Form Navigator window to edit the properties. (Note that this is different than the Navigator).
