trouble with tab control

[mari]

I have used the tab control previously with no problem but I'm suddenly having a problem with one and am wondering if I'm forgetting a step in setting it up. I'm clicking the tab icon in the toolbox and clicking it onto the form, so far so good. I then click on the tab of the page I want active for my controls and drag the controls over. However they show up on both pages. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, it's a simple process but it's not working. any help out there would be appreciated.
Thanks

Select the controls, click Cut, then select the specific tab page (by
clicking on its tab), then click Paste.

Dragging will drag the controls *in front of* the tab page... not onto
it.

What I do is to select the controls; type Ctrl-X to cut them to the
clipboard; select the tab (so the page highlights); and type Ctrl-V to
paste onto the page. The controls can then be moved around.

If there's a better way I'd like to find it!

(air remark) Set the .Parent property from code?
