I must be missing something. I'm trying to create a form with checkboxes and labels. I don't know what happened but now when I try to add a new checkbox control, the label box is now before the checkbox when before it was after. How does one set/move/change this behavior?? I cannot find this anywhere on MS website or even in my Access 2007 for dummies book.
See the tip below from the tip page of
www.aadconsulting.com . The tip shows you how to change the default position of labels for each control type. If you just want to change the position of the label that "shifted", you can bypass the step of going to the toolbar and just change the label's x and y position for that control specifically.
Change the Default Position of Attached Labels
Access attaches a label to the left of a control by default.
To change the default position of a control's attached label you can set the left and top co-ordinates of the label using the control's Label X and Label Y properties. For example, to change the default so that the label appears to the right of a text box:
In Design view, double-click the form's Properties button to open the form's Properties window. In the Toolbox, click the Text Box button, to display the default Text Box properties in the Properties window. On the Format tab, change the default from -1 to 1in (or -3 to 3cm) for the Label X property.
You can also change the default position of the attached label so it is located above the text box, by setting the Label X property to 0 and the Label Y property to -0.25in (or -0.75cm).
