Copying screen object to a new tab control

[Dennis]

Hi,

I'm running Access XP Office Pro (SP3) on XP Pro (SP3). I have completed a
member name and address screen with some additional membership information.
After looking at the form, it is too busy. I want to break the form into two
pages / tabs. The first page will be name and address info and the second
page will be membership info.

I created the two tab pages but when I move my name and address screen
object to the first tab, they "disappear". My guess is it is white font on a
white background. If I copy, paste, and then move my screen objects (lblName
& Name) then they appear on the tab control.

I've search for similar problems but did not find anything. I have a sample
database with working examples and compared properties of the different
object, but did not see any differences. I've tried changing the Back Style
from Transparent to Normal & I check the font colors.

I can copy, paste, and move each screen object, but I have 48 screen objects
and it would be a pain. I am also concerned that I might misname the
variables so my existing VBA might break.


Any suggestions?

All,

Just did some more reading. Just to confirm my understanding. You can NOT
move a form object (lbl & text screen) from the original form to a tab
control. You can copy and paste them, but not move them. Is that correct?

Any suggestion for how to keep the same variable names so that I don's screw
up my existing VBA code or am I just out of luck?
