Is there a way to center a checkbox (Yes/No field) under the column heading
in a tabular report? The usual left/center/right alignments aren't available
and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to "unhook" the field control from
the field name control (Design view) to align the field control separately.

I hope I'm just missing something really simple!

Thanks,

liz

You can move a control indepenfently of its attached label
by using the larger handel in the control's upper left
corner. The same is true for moving the label independently
of its parent control.

You can totally separate the label and the parent control by
selecting the label and using Cut. Then click on the
section's bar or a blank area and Paste the label back.
