What is Anchoring Controls or Labels in Access 2007? Anchoring a Control of a Form field is to stick that Control or Label, or both to be anchored to a part of the form. For example, you can Anchor or stick your Control to say the lower-right corner of your form, so when you resize the form it will stay in the lower-right and stay out of the main view of the form. However, you'll want to know that the size or area of your grid, in your Design view, if too large and not fitted tight around the Control then the lower-right Control won't properly display your anchored Control in your Form view when a user resizes the Form. See it in our Certified Access 2007 training videos!
