Select adjacent text boxes or other controls in forms and reports

  1. Open a form in Design view or a report in Design view.

  2. Starting at any point outside a control, drag a rectangle over the controls that you want to select.

Tips  

You can specify whether the rectangle that you drag over controls needs to touch only the controls or must enclose them completely to select them. On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Forms/Reports tab, and then click one of the options under Selection Behavior.

To remove one or more controls from the selected group, hold down the SHIFT key, and then click the controls that you want to remove.
