A2007 Check Box switching the Label Position Left/Right (1 Viewer)

[mdlueck]

I have forgotten where in Access 2007 the setting is which determines which side of a Check Box control the Label should be placed on. I know I have found it as I have Check Box controls with the Label not on the default side of the control. Suggestions? TIA!

Bump... I have still not found the property of Check Box controls which is responsible for positioning the Label on the Left/Right of the Check Box.

Well, I am not certain it is the only way... however I discovered if I added the new Check Box to the existing field control grid, then the label instantly flipped to the Left side of the Check Box.

Now I may remove the control from the group so I may have a different label width (wider) than the text fields on the form.

Take a look at this blog post:

It should help.

Those clever properties aren't available to you I don't think, at least up to Access 2007 to my knowledge. You will need to move the label to the other side manually without needing to detach it from its parent.

And now that Mr. B mentions default values for controls, here's one from Allen Browne:

This doesn't address the problem but it would help if you wish to change properties that exist in the Property Sheet.

Following the instructions in the blog post link provided, the change will affect the changed properties of the control type for only the form or report that you are in when you make the change to the property of the selected control type. It does not make the new property changes to be global for Access or even for all forms and/or reports in a single file. byt, at least you can make the change for the single form or report and then insert as many of the controls with the modified property as you want.
