You use labels on a form, report, or data access page to display descriptive text such as titles, captions, or brief instructions. Labels don't display values from fields or expressions; they're always unbound and they don't change as you move from record to record.
A label can be attached to another control. When you create a text box, for example, it has an attached label that displays a caption for that text box. This label appears as a column heading in the Datasheet view of a form.
When you create a label by using the Label tool 
, the label stands on its own — it isn't attached to any other control. You use stand-alone labels for information such as the title of a form, report, or data access page, or for other descriptive text. Stand-alone labels don't appear in Datasheet view.
