Tab controls

[JamesSF]

In a2k or a2k2, is there a way to have on 1 page of a tab control, have an
inverted set of tabs below?
so that for every 1 tab across the top, i can have 4, 5, or 6 etc tabs
inside it? either with tab pointing up or down - nested tabs

thanks!

You can do nested tabs by putting a subform on the tab control of the
parent form and placing another tab control on the sub form. The built in
tab control has no options for where the tabs go however. They would both
be at the top.

I suggest using these with discretion though. I find that users generally
like tabs as long as they are not multi-row. Multi-row has the behavior
where clicking on a tab in a back row brings that whole row to the front
and now all of the tabs are different places than before which can be
pretty confusing. Nesting with a sub form does not have this problem.
