Forms/Subforms

[Steven W]

Many thanks for your earlier assistance.
One more basic question.
I've managed to get the two subforms re Subcontractor
details working OK with the tab control (pages 2 and 3).
But I'd like to get the main form (general info)onto page
one of the tab control. I'd like this main form to open
when the user enters the tab control for the first time
and then be able to move onto the subforms - how do I do
it?
thanks again.

You can't put the MainForm on a tabl control...but you can put a tab control
on a MainForm, and you can put the controls of the MainForm on the tab
control if you wish. To put a control on a tab control, select the control
from the toolbox, move the cursor on top of the tab control until it turns
"black" and then click on the tab control. (If you don't see the tab control
turn "black", then the control will be pasted onto the detail section of the
main form and not on the tab control). If the controls are already on the
main form and you want to move them to the tab control, select the controls,
press Ctrl+X, click on tab control, and then Ctrl+V to paste them. You'll
know if you did it correctly if the controls are seen only on the one tab
page when you're in Forms view.
