adding tab in form JEPE <jp.dewinter[ at ]telenet.be> 11/25/2008 1:50:50 PM Hi, I havm a form with some data... Now I want to add a second "tab-form" How is the procedure? I can add a tab-form with2 tabs but how do I get the current fiels to the first or to the second page? Now, the "tab-form" is positioned overthe current form but I can no longer see the fields.. I can selectthem but cant see them... The new "tab-form" lies like a carpet OVER the fields of my currenty (single-paged) form

A Tab Control is merely a way to manage real estate. Its pages are not independent forms with independent record sources. For that you use subforms (which can be placed onto Tab Pages). As for your existing controls you need to select them all and "cut" them to the Windows clipboard, select the desired Tab Page, and then "paste". New controls can be dragged and dropped onto Tab Pages, but existing controls must be cut and pasted onto them. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to...

Re: adding tab in form JEPE <jp.dewinter[ at ]telenet.be> 11/25/2008 2:27:26 PM Second problem... When I add an entryfield on the second form, it is also displayed on the first one... Is there a way to "link" fields to a form-tab?
