How do I detach or disassociate a label from a control in Access 2

[don s]

I am using Access 2007 and have a problem that I did not have with the
previous versions. I would like to move the label from detail to the page
header, but when I
delete or cut the label, the associated control is also deleted or cut. How
can I
detach label without having to recreate the control? Thank you for a reply.

If you created the form with a table selected, (so Access creates the form
pre-defined from the table) then you need to (in design view) select the
little "compass" box (don't know the name of it, but it highlights all the
controls on the form) and then go to Arrange on the top menu and the third
from the left, click Remove. This disassociates the labels from the
controls and you can move or delete them.

Thank you, Damon! For those who might find this later, the Remove button is
in the menu tab Arrange in the cluster 'Control Layout.' As Damon said, it is
the third from the left. If it is shaded out, you may not have selected
something that is not associated.
