LOL.  I forgot my laptop (with 2003 on it) when I visited a client the other day, so I was forced to 
work in 2007.  Such fun.

I was trying to set the default setting for a label on a form.  I just could not find where they hid 
that piece.  In 2003 you select a control, get it set up the way you want - font, font size, back 
color etc - and then format / set control defaults on the menu.  In 2007 there is no menu of course.

Does anyone know where they hid that function in 2007?

Is anyone using Access 2010?  this client is a nonprofit and they purchased 10 copies of Access 2010 
for cheap.  I am wondering if I need to know anything before I go upgrade them.

AFAICT they have full office 2007 on the three computers in their office.  Other than installing 
Access 2010 in its own directory, is there any other caution?  And does 2010 runtime work the same 
way as 2007?
