Do not have a close button at the top right?

[BobC]

Using 2007 ...
I have inherited a program that has paged tabs as the navigation forms.
There is no close 'X' showing at the top-right of the screen to close
the forms.
Is there a way to add them (turn them on)?
I am having to use <ctrl>+F4 to close the form.

You can check the form's property dialog on the Format tab.
The 2 properties to set are-->
Control box - set to Yes
Close button - set to Yes

There must be something I am missing?
Both properties are set to yes.
I have never used tabs before in programming and do not understand them.
There is no close button anywhere.

Well, I did some checking ...
In help under 'Show or hide object tabs', it says there is not supposed
to be a close?
I guess I like the old way of creating you own menu best!

Thanks for you help!
Bob

Ahh . . . were you asking about an X at the top of each page of the tab
control? - No this isn't possible.
To close a page of the tab control you choose a different tab.

If you want to hide some tabs you can do this using code.
