Both label and box should be one joined or group entity. When I click on one in the designer, both should select as one and move as one, as it happens with the boxes/labels created by the wizard. Like the label "Autor" and its box below it.
All the grey boxes were created by the wizard, and the whites ones by me.
They are clearly different - ignoring the colour, yours also have the label indented by what looks like one character.
The labels are not part of the box. There is one object, the box (rather a drop list box), and there is an independent text that happens to be very near to the box. I have positioned them with the mouse, which is very hard to do all of them the same way, and worse when having to reposition everything many times. They have to be grouped afterwards - I found that out how this morning, from a hint on usenet. https://help.libreoffice.org/6.1/en-US/text/sdraw/guide/groups.html Only that it is not there, it is in menu "format", entry "group". It should be in the context menu when both entities are selected. Also, the "Label field" is not set automatically with grouping, has to be done manually; apparently this is important for later setting the tab order. My current version of the form is much better, I can already work with it and add book entries to the database.
Disclaimer - I know _nothing_ about LO Base.
The way you've described it, it sounds like you created the label and the box separately? Maybe you need to create the box with the label as an attribute. Much like you attach a caption to a box in LO Writer.
Obviously, that should be the way, but it doesn't exist. I also find out that the "View" of a table has no wizard. I have not yet been able of creating a working "view". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
