How to: Group Report Controls
You can associate multiple controls with each other and save this preference in the layout by grouping them. After you format and align controls, grouping them is useful for preserving their positions with respect to one another. After you group controls, you can move them them as a single unit.
Note
Properties are not available for grouped items. You must un-group them before you can invoke their properties dialog boxes.

In the designer, select the controls you want to group.

To remove grouping from grouped controls
