The first picture is when I launch the program, the second is in the designer. I would like to know what is the best way to have it so the combo boxes and textboxes don't overlap.

What I have tried:

I have tried moving the labels and textboxes around but they seem to overlap regardless.

I have tried setting the anchors on the combobox and textbox to Top Left. They still overlap each other.

I have tried setting Locked to True in the properties for each label and combobox/ textbox.

I Have tried making the form bigger.

Seems, that Anchor property has been messed up.
I'd change that property for Combobox and TextBox to: Top, Left

DO you use some event to change the size and location of controls?

Hey, I just fixed it a moment ago using a table layout panel but i'm not sure how to now close this question or mark it as solved.
