Button: Select

When Select Button on the Toolbox bar is active, it has a border and a contrasting background and the mouse pointer has the Select arrow shape .  When it is inactive , there is no border.

To select an object on a form or report (in Design view), the mouse pointer must have the Select shape. Once the object has been selected, then you can move, resize, format, change the properties, or delete the object.
