Change existing form to tabbed form

[sharonm]

Hello,

I have an existing form in Access 2003 which is working fine. I want to
change this to a tabbed form and keep all the existing fields on one tab and
have a new tab where I can add more fields and controls. How do I do this? I
know about the tab control, but when I go to use it I get 2 tabs overlayed on
top of my existing form.

Any help or a link to a video showing how to do this would be appreciated.
THanks in advance!!

Hi Sharon,

Once you have added the tab control to your form:

- Size it and move the tab control so that it is convenient to work with.
- Select all of the controls on the form that you want to put on a tab.
(You can use ctl-A to do this, but you will need to then de-select the tab
control by holding down Shift while clicking on it.)
- Use ctl-X to cut the controls you want to move to a tab.
- Click on the tab that you want the controls on.
- Use ctl-V to paste the controls that you cut. They will now be on the tab
you selected.
- Now you can size an locate the tab as desired.
