INTRODUCTION

If the contents of a field name or field entry are not completely displayed in a form (a common occurrence when you use a row and column “style layout), you can resize the control, be it the field's label control, text box control, or both. In addition, you can resize the entire form as needed to make room.

TIP

No Automatic Adjustments

Access does not make an automatic adjustment if one control overlaps another. You need to manually move and resize the controls so that they don't overlap.
