Separate Fields in a Form

Anonymous

This should be a relatively easy ..... I have simply created a form based on a table, and when you create a table using the wizard it groups all the fields  together so when you want to adjust a column width on only one field they all move and resize.  I just want to be able to ungroup the fields so they dont all resize when I only want to resize just one field (column).  Is this possible, as I dont want to have to delete the whole thing and enter each field manually from scratch in order to do this.

Thanks

Open the form in design view.

Press Ctrl+A to select all controls.

Activate the Arrange tab of the ribbon (under Form Design Tools).

Click Remove in the Control Layout group.

Click away from the controls to deselect them.

You can now move and resize them individually.

    Just select the fields and then go to the ARRANGE tab and click REMOVE.  See here for a visual:
