Lesson 9 - Manipulating Form Controls in Design View

Access 2016

Selecting adjacent controls

NOTE If the ruler appears, drag in it to select multiple adjacent controls. Select all controls by pressing [Ctrl] + A . Make sure the mouse pointer does not change into a hand when you begin to drag a selection box. If it does, you will end up moving the control instead of selecting multiple controls. If you move a control by mistake, use the Undo feature to reverse the action.
