Tabs and Memo fields

[RC]

I am working with the Issues Database template from the Microsoft Website on
Access 2007.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC012186931033.aspx
I would ike to add tabs next to the Comment tab. I have successfully added
the tabs I would like, but they don't change when I select a different
record. The original Comments tab does change per record but none of the new
tabs I've added. I dont see the difference in the tabs as far as the
properties are concerned.
What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,
RC

A Tab is NOTHING but a way to control screen real estate. It has no link to
the table, and does not affect the values of table fields or of controls on
the form.

The textboxes or other controls on the tab page need to be Bound to fields in
the table: set the Control Source property of the textbox to the name of the
field in which the data is to be stored. It there is no such field you need to
modify the structure of the table to include it.

Hi RC
This very much depends on what controls you have put on those extra tabs,
and which tables those controls are linked to.
Please describe in more detail.
