Tab Control

[Guest]

I have a form already created with contact information on it. I now want to
put what I have on this form on a tab control so that I can add more
information and a couple of subforms. I went into design view of the form I
have already created, and clicked on all the fields and cut them and then
added a tab control and then pasted the field onto the first tab. However,
any command button that were on for now when I click on them, they don't work.

What is the best way to add the tab control on my form and add all the
fields and command button onto the tabbed control? I am using Access 2003.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,

Dee

Any time you cut and paste a control that has Event Procedures attached to
it you lose the property setting "[Event Procedure]". The code is still
there all you need to do is put those property entries back.

Unfortunately, cutting and pasting is the only way to get existing control
onto a TabPage. NEWQ controls can be drag n' dropped, but not existing
ones.

Hi Rick,

How do I put the propery entries back? Do you mean I have to add the code
again?

If the code's still there, all you should need to do is set the property to
[Event Procedure]

For a way to automate the fix, check my March, 2004 "Access Answers" column
