I don't get that, or most of the other seemingly impossible things. I put several on a form and chose to space equally - no problem. Put labels on the left too. As for a font, why would you expect to see font properties for a control that has no text? Am I misunderstanding the problems?Size-Space and "Equal Vertical". No way does this give them all the same vertical spacing.
labels are impossible to move to left. what I did was delete all labels and inserted new label to the left. then on each radio button, I associated the labels to them using Label Name property.
Sounds like controls are in a grouped layout. This can be frustrating when trying to rearrange things. I never group controls. The form wizard always groups controls. Select all controls then right click > Layout > Remove.I could not select them as everything was kind of all together.
That's an excellent tip thank you arnelgp!
Seeing as the associated label property is a relatively new feature of MS Access, I wasn't aware of how handy it could be!

To my mind, only benefit of associating a label is a) if you hide the control it hides the associated label and b) the label takes on some of the events of the control such as click, mouse move etc
Both of those are fairly significant benefits in my opinion
I have that problem more and more as I get older!No wonder I could not find it.
The label also becomes a member of the control's collection, albeit the only member. I have found that very useful when validating the existence of field values during form validation. A message box saying "enter data in txtFName" or God forbid, Text20, is not nearly as intuitive as using the caption that they can see. Since you've already referred to the control in question it's a simple matter of getting at its collection member caption. Otherwise, it seems you have to customize the code to produce a meaningful message for each control being validated.To my mind, only benefit of associating a label is a) if you hide the control it hides the associated label and b) the label takes on some of the events of the control such as click, mouse move etc
good point, I think I'm probably thinking too close to the way I define my user experience.Since you've already referred to the control in question it's a simple matter of getting at its collection member caption.
