Default Control Layout

Hello,

I am using Access 2007 on a Vista machine. The database I am designing is in
the 2007 format.

I have a form that uses the Tabular type of Control Layout with Labels in
the Form Header and data in the Details Section of the form. There are 16
Label and data boxes and the data is numerical.

The two things I am trying to accomplish a

1. In the Form Footer I have added 16 boxes which total each column. I am
now trying to add each of these boxes into the grouping so that it is linked
to its parent Label and Data boxes which makes it easier to size the boxes
and to re-arrange the form.

2. In the Form header, I have added more labels that are like "headings" for
groups of data. For exampe, there are two columns titled "Day" and "Night". I
have placed on top of those two labels another box titled "Command". I want
to link that heading box to the Day/Night boxes.

I am trying to do this because it is becoming quite time consuming trying to
correctly size up and align these new boxes. Also when I re-arrange my
layout, it is becoming frustrating trying to realign the extra boxes.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Ant
