Tabbed forms

[ditirotsabona]

I have got several tables(about 11) that i want to link to tabbed forms. How
do i go about it: Do you recommend tabbed form linked subforms?

Unless there is some reason the forms need to be linked, I would just use the
wizard to create 11 different forms. Getting into that many subforms not only
get troublesome to link correctly, but gets really unwieldy on space issues.
You don't have enough room on the page for all the stuff going on at once.
Another option is to used tabs and have 11 tabbed forms. The users could
easily switch from tab to tab to get data. That gets a little unwieldy also.
The wizard will create the forms for you better than you could probably
create them yourself, just use it.

Are you using Data Access Pages... or Access Forms? They are very different.

Tabs dont have separate RecordSources. They are only a layout tool to
manage form real estate.

You would need to place subforms on the TabPages to get what you want.
