When creating a report using the wizard, fields and their label are always
connected. It make it very difficult to make changes and customize the report.
How can I disconnect this "connection"???? Please help? It drives me crazy!

Click the label and <Ctl-X> to cut the label to the clipboard. Now click on
the report section background and then <Ctl-V> to paste. The label will
reappear, but will no longer be attached to the control.

If you are adding a bunch of text boxes without attached
labels, add one, delete its label (and set Font, Height,
etc). Then use the Format menu - Set Control Defaults. Now
you can add the rest of the text boxes and they will have
the same properties as the first one.
