Thanks Justin! I've been trying to find an easier way to do this for quite a
while.

For those using Access 2007, the commands are in the Arrange tab under
Position. There are buttons for "Equal Horizontal" and "Equal Vertical" as
well as increase and decrease buttons.

For future reference, if you have an issue with controls overlapping, first
slightly overlap all text boxes in question and then highlight them all.
Next select format -- Horizontal or Vertical -- Make Equal. This will
force all text boxes to be placed flushly against one another. This removes
the trial and error guessing of placing them next to each other manually.

Marshall,

I had thought it could have been something to do with getting lucky with
positioning them close but not overlapping. That + and & has solved
everything though, it looks so much neater. No more trying to light
everything up perfectly now.

Thanks,

Clare
