MS Access 2007: Group controls on a form

This MSAccess tutorial explains how to group controls on a form in Access 2007 (with screenshots and step-by-step instructions).

Question: In Microsoft Access 2007, how do I group controls on a Form?

Answer:You've probably seen controls grouped together on a Form before and wondered how this was done.

To group controls, open your form in Design View. Then select all of the controls that you would like to group together. In this example, we've selected the Product ID, Product Name, Quantity Per Unit, and Unit Price text boxes and their associated labels.

Microsoft Access

Select the Arrange tab in the toolbar at the top of the screen. Then click on the Stacked button in the Control Layout group.

Now your controls should behave as a "Group".
