Discussion

You can move a paired bound and unbound control (i.e., a field text box and its label) as a single unit to any location in a form or report in Design view. When you move one control in a pair, its corresponding control automatically moves along with it. Moving controls can improve the appearance and efficiency of forms and reports. The controls must be selected before you can move them.

If you want to move both the bound and unbound controls as a single unit, be careful that you do not drag a control by either of the large move handles in the upper left
