If I attempt to resize a field that is on top of another it is not possible to 'grab' the edge if it overlaps...

Attached image should explain this...

Dave it works for me as long as they don't overlap, but if the one you want to move extends into the next one like you show, it does not - you can't grab it. You probably want to move it over temporarily until you can shorten it and then move it back.

I think this used to work though...

Right mouse click on the 'overlapped' field you cannot resize and select 'To Front' option.

And a tip: If a field is selected, you can resize using Shift-Cursor. The incremental change is proportional to the grid size.

Thanks Nick!
Nice one - I suppose all of this is in the manual which I should read at some stage :)

PS: And you should have digested that already...
