- To select one control, click anywhere in the control.
- To select adjacent controls, click at any point outside a control, and drag a rectangle over the controls that you want to select.
- To select nonadjacent or overlapping controls, hold down the SHIFT key and click each control that you want to select.
Note In a data access page, you can't select more than one control unless you have installed Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later.
If you want to remove one or more controls from the selected group, hold down the SHIFT key, and then click the controls that you want to remove.
Note If you click a control that's already selected, an insertion point appears inside the control so that you can enter or edit text. To reselect the control, click outside the control, and then click the control again.
TipYou can specify whether the rectangle that you drag over controls needs to only touch the controls or must enclose them completely to select them. On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Forms/Reports tab, and then click one of the options under Selection Behavior.
