Question

Which of the following is NOT true when resizing and managing controls?

1) Controls can be resized to make the form more user friendly.
2) When you create a form using the wizard, the order that you choose the fields in the wizard step is the order the fields are added to the form.
3) Once the control is selected you can move it or resize it.
4) When you click a control in Form view, an orange border appears around the control.

Answer 1

The false statement regarding resizing and managing controls is that an orange border appears when a form control is clicked in Form view, as typically, borders for resizing and moving appear in Design view, not Form view. The other statements given are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is NOT true when resizing and managing controls is number 4: 'When you click a control in Form view, an orange border appears around the control.' Typically, in form design tools such as Microsoft Access or similar database design applications, the standard is that clicking a control in Design View, rather than Form view, will show a border, often with handles for resizing, indicating it is selected for editing. Form View is usually for the end user to enter or view data, not for layout adjustments.

Let's review the other statements:

1. Controls can be resized to make the form more user friendly. This is a true statement; resizing controls can indeed improve user experience.
2. The order that you choose the fields in the wizard step dictates the order they are added to the form. This is true and is part of the process of form creation in database applications.
3. Once the control is selected you can move it or resize it. Again, this is a true statement, referring to the design process where you can adjust the layout of controls for form usability.
