Ah, different question entirely (afaik there is no way to prevent the "anchoring" from occuring in the first place). Don't know about 2007, but in earlier versions: - Select the label - Cut it - click an empty spot on the form (to be sure no controls are active/selected) - paste it If you want do the exact opposite ('attach' an independent label to an existing textbox that doesn't have a label), cut the label and then select the desired textbox before pasting.

I can't select the label by itself. If I try to delete the label the label and the field both get deleted. >> Maybe I should have specified, in design view how >> to "unanchore" a lable form it's parent field.

This will split you label and textboxes. hth SignatureMaurice Ausum > That's the problem. I can't select the label by itself. If I try > to delete the label the label and the field both get deleted.
