Do you use the report wizard to help you create reports in Microsoft Access 2007? If you do, you are probably aware of the control layout. Many controls are automatically grouped into a layout when you use the wizard to create a report. These control layouts help you to arrange the controls, i.e. text boxes and labels, as a group. When you move or resize one control, the other controls will automatically adjust accordingly. While using layouts can save you time when manipulating controls, they can also be restricting. It is possible to remove a control layout. To remove a control layout, you need to view the report in the design or layout view. Once in the appropriate view, select the controls you want to remove from the layout. Then select the Arrange tab on the ribbon and click the Remove button located within the control layout section. With the control layout removed you will be able to independently move and resize the controls within your report.
