Problem using Tab Control

[Ron Weaver]

I am trying to set up tabs on a form. Following the directions on my Access
2003 Bible, I cut a form and paste to tab one, but the form shows up on tab
two also. I am definitely selecting the tab control on page one before
pasting the form. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

You need to be sure you select the tab page (not just the tab control).
Click on the tab itself and then paste.

do you mean you're adding a subform to a tab control page in a main form?
you might try selecting the tab control page in the main form Design view,
then clicking the Subform/Subreport button on the Toolbox toolbar, and
adding the subform control to the page. then set the SourceObject,
LinkMasterFields, and LinkChildFields properties of the subform control.

i don't know what illustrations, if any, the Access Bible gives you; you
might want to take a look at the illustrated instructions available from the
TabPageControls link at
http://home.att.net/~california.db/instructions.html, to make sure you're on
the right track.

Hi Joan

That did it.
I was clicking on the tab page, and then right clicking, pasting in the body
of the form. Thanks for your help.
