Adding a tab

[Jan H. DeGiorgio]

I've already set up what will be page 1 of my input form and can't figure
out how to add a tab to it.

It appears that I should have set up a tab control first and then added my
fields.

Can someone help me understand how to do this without having to start over
again?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Open your form in design view. Select all the controls that you want on the
tab page (Ctrl-A will select them all). Use Ctrl-X to cut them to the
clipboard. On the toolbox, choose the tab control and add it to your form.
Select the first page (click on the first tab of the tab control), and then
use Ctrl-V to paste the controls you cut onto this page.

After this procedure double check to make sure any code events tied to any of these controls are
"re-associated" by going to the appropriate procedure line(s) and making sure it says [Event
Procedure]. Sometimes they lose this association with a cut/paste.
