MS Access 2003: Add an independent label on a form

This MSAccess tutorial explains how to add an independent label on a form without it being attached to a text box in Access 2003 (with screenshots and step-by-step instructions).

Question: In Microsoft Access 2003/XP/2000/97, I want to add a Label on a form without it being attached to a Text Box. How can I do this?

Answer:You've probably seen labels get created on a form whenever you create a Text Box, Combo Box, etc. But you can also create an independent label that is not attached to any other object.

To do this, open your form in Design View. Select the Label button in the Toolbar. Then click on the form where you'd lke the label appear and enter the text that you'd like to display in the label.

In this example, we've created a label that displays the text "Product Information".
