[AccessD] Access 2007 Form Design Question

Arthur, 

I had the same problem, but it was on my home computer and I don't have
Access 2007 at work.  I figured it out but can't remember where the
option was.  I did find the following in the internet though:

Highlight the controls you wish to Group / Ungroup
In the Form Design Tools under arrange, there is an icon (next to Snap
to Grid) that looks like 2 squares.

That's your group / ungroup ribbon shortcut. 

HTH

I don't think I made it clear what I want to do. I want to change the
width of exactly one field within the group, but I can't seem to do it.
If I click any field in the group and try to adjust its width, all the
others in the group are affected. This is not what I want.

So far, it seems the only way to do what I want is to forget all about
AutoForm and add the fields individually, which is a drag.
