Remarks

When created, controls have an attached label (as long as their AutoLabel property is set to Yes). Changes to the LabelAlign default control style setting affect only controls created on the current form or report. To change the default control style for all new forms or reports that you create without using a Microsoft Access wizard, see Specify a new template for forms and reports.
