Caption labels

[Robert]

If you delete it, how can you restore the label that is attached to a
textbox as you drag it from the field list. Obviously just dropping a label
there would not be the same as the attached one.

I can only speak for Access 2003:

Place label on form
Enter its caption and leave it
Right click on the label
Click on Properties
A diamond shaped box will attach to the label
Click on this and a box will open offering you the opportunity to associate
the label with a control
Click on the appropriate control

Sorry, I'm Using Access 2002.

If you're using Access 2003 or later then selecting the new label will
bring up a SmartIcon with a list of options for dealing with the issue.

Alternatively (taken from Access Help topics):

1.. Click the label that you want to attach to a control.
2.. Click Cut on the toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options
that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize
on the Tools menu, and then click the Toolbars tab.).
3.. Click the control that you want to attach the label to.
4.. Click Paste on the toolbar.

The second solution in my reply should work in Access 2002 as well.
