Overlapping controls

On many of my forms, I have controls which completely overlap.
Depending on certain factors, I make the uppermost or lowermost
control and its associated label visible.
However, whenever I need to make achange to the form design, I find it
a pain to have to move the uppermost control to get at the lower one -
I then have to re-align the controls - which I admit is easier with
Access 2007.  But is there an easier way to go straight to a named
control that is hidden by another control?Thanks

Use the dropdown at the top of the property sheet.
