Can't "Free-form" Report Field Location

My apologies. I'm new to (2007 version) Access.

I used the "report wizard" to shorten the time creating a report, and now
trying to move the fields around -- but their layout seems to be linked
together?

For example, I'm attempting to move one of the controls into the report
header, so I can use it later when I filter by form? Do I have to
"right-click" somewhere to allow me to move them around individually?

Again, my apologies for asking "newbie" questions, but I'm new to (2007
version) Access. Right-click "layout remove" ? What's that?

With the form in design view, select the controls and labels that you want to
free from the anchor. On the arrange ribbon, select ungroup.

There are very good reasons that this setup is included in access 2007,
there is a good video example I have seen on how to layout the controls when
thay have anchors (ie all controls move together)

If I can find the link I will repost for you.

Does this help????

Kindest regards

For form in the previous post read Report. However, the solution applies to
both forms and reports.
