4.2.2 Properties Microsoft Access calls all the objects on a form controls . Click on the Properties toolbar button . In any case, the properties sheet for the control will appear. A sample properties sheet is shown in Figure 9 . There are many different properties for each control, and different types of controls have different sets of properties.
Many properties have pull-down lists of options.
There are properties that tell the control where its data is coming from, what it will look like, and what should happen when an event such as a double-click on the control occurs. Note that specific groups of properties can be selected at the top of the properties sheet window. Each field will initially have a label attached to it which is the name of the field. You can, if you wish, change this to a more meaningful description of the field and the data to be entered. You can move the field and its label around together or individually by dragging them with the mouse.
