locate/select empty lable control on a form?

I placed an empty label control on a form. I could drag the mouse across the
form in design view to locate the lbl. But I have since moved a few controls
on the form around, and now I cannot locate this label control. Is there a
way to select the label in the design view besides dragging the mouse?

Thanks,
Rich

I ended up just adding some text to the label on the form load event and
moved all the other controls over to one side of the form. This did expose
the label's location, but ideally, I would like to be able to do something
like that in the design environment so that I don't have to load the program.
Is there a way to do something like that?

In the properties window, open the drop down list at the top of it and select
the label you are looking for. This should hi-light it on the form or you
could set its text property.

Hi folks. I'm porting a cf site to php, everything's going very well, I like php much better (this, of course, being the correct forum to make that statement :). One problem I have is with validating a form that has a couple multi- select list boxes. The idea is that when the user submits the form, it goes to it's process script. The process script validates the responses, and if all is ok, finishes processing and "includes" a thank...

Dear friends, I am having a hard time understanding how to use a SELECT CASE in ASP. I have used it in VB but never in ASP scripting. Scenerio: I have 2 textboxes on a form that I have to allow entry to one or the other or Both at the same time. Now I tried to use an If ElseIf but it got too hard to track, so now I am using a SELECT CASE Statement.

Hi I want to warn the user that changing the selected item in a pull-down will clear some data he has already entered in a file download box. I've tried using confirm() to return true or false with a line such as: onchange="return(confirm('proceed Yes or No')))" but it always stops the change.

how can I use a function inside a function, for example I want to select col1, col2 from table1 where locate(dayofweek(current date),col3) =dayofweek(current date) col3 is a field that contains a string like '12 4567', or '1 4567'. This field specifies what day in the week the job executes, and if there is a match, I want to report col1 and col2.

Hi, This seems impossible to me. I've read tons of posts, but I just cannot fathom it out. I have a form for our range of products. There are four fields (text) which need to be filled with an image name. On our server (also in our office), I have an asp web application running for our clients via the installed MySQL db.

Is this doable? If not, is there a control I can do this with? to have a clear/see through backstyle? Thanks, JD

When I add the name of a new individual in a, bound form, it will not display that person’s name in a label control of a second unbound form. I have a scheduling program that I am working on.
