SUMMARY
Microsoft Access 7.0 and 97 have a feature called "morphing." This feature enables you to change one type of control into another type of control. However, there are limits to which kinds of controls you can morph. For example, you cannot morph an image control into a text box control. The table below lists each type of control and to what type you can morph it.
