Default Basic Tab Control Question - 10-14-2004 , 06:08 PM






In my Access 97 database I have a form with a tab control that has about 150
controls on it (no subforms). When I add another tab and click on it (in
both design and form view) all I see are the controls from the first tab.
Why is this? Should I not be seeing a blank tab so that new controls can be
added on it? Any help would be much appreciated. Am I missing something?

Sounds like you just positioned the controls on top of the
tab control instead of creating the controls inside the tab.

You can either select all the controls and cut them. Then
select the first tab and paste them back, or delete all the
controls and select the first tab before recreating them.

Thanks Marsh

Problem solved. Its been a few years since I had to use the tab control.
I'll make sure this one gets entered into the old memory bank.
