Hello Graham, Well, just a guess here. If you used the form wizard to create the form originally then for each field in the table a control is added to the form and bound to the field, there is also an associated label control added to the form. The control, bound to the field, and the label control are then 'grouped' together, so that when you select one you select both. What you want to do is to select ONLY the data control - one simple way is to hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the control with the mouse. Then with the control selected alone right click the mouse over it and select 'Control' from the pop-up menu. You should now see the property editor with all of the properties for this particular control type.
