Change a control to another control
When designing a form, you can quickly change one type of control to another type of control. For example, you can change a text box to a drop-down list box.
- In design mode, right-click the control that you want to change, point to Change To on the shortcut menu, and then click the type of control that you want.
Notes
- If you do not see the choice that you want on the shortcut menu, check the properties of the field or group to which the control is bound. The properties of a field or group determine what type of control can be bound to the field or group.
- You cannot change certain controls, including buttons, hyperlink controls, or expression boxes, to a different type of control.
