Moving form elements without entering a Layout

[philbullock1223]

When trying to move textboxes around the form, many times, particularly if I have overlapping elements, the textbox wants to enter a Layout (red line or box inside a Layout table). Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

For example, I am trying to move a set of option buttons over top of a layout, but I can't seem to move it onto the layout without it jumping into the layout.

:banghead:

Thanks so much!

Remove/delete the layout if you don't want it, (personally I never used it).
Open the form in design view, choose the "Arrange" tab, mark a control inside the layout, the click the "Remove layout" icon.

JHB, thank you so much for your response. You obviously spent some time to make it easy for me, and I truly appreciate that.

Unfortunately, that doesn't answer my question. Let me rephrase:

When I am moving a textboxt WITHOUT a layout NEAR a set of textboxes inside a layout, Access tends to "throw" you into the layout. See image below with the red "bar'. I want to avoid Access from generating the red bar and forcing me to add the textbox into the layout when I only want it near the set.

Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks JHB Again.
