MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is different from the Design view of forms and reports where you can select more than one control at a time.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 2) On the View menu, point to Database Objects, and then click Pages.
 * 3) Open the View Products page in Design view.
 * 4) Select ProductID.
