Whats up with tab controls

[dpdeleon]

I've got three tabs and everythings looking good. One subform per page. I
need to expand the controls on one of the subforms and all of a sudden the
controls are on every page. I thought each tab was supposed to hide what was
underneath.

Am I missing something here?

thanks

That is what the TabControl is supposed to do and
generally, it does well IF you *actually* put the Controls
(in your case, the SubformControls) on the Pages of the
TabControl.

If you see the SubformControl on every page, the
SubformControl is on the Form and NOT on a Page of the
TabControl.

When you want to put a Control on a Page, you must select
the Page of the Tab Control first. You can fix you
current problem by cutting the SubformControl, *select the
Page you want to put on* and the pasting it.

Look for the tab control to turn black if you are can drop something on it
