Tab Control

Don

Hello, I'm using Access 2003. I have a form with a tab control. I want to
have another tab control within one of the page of the main tab control. So
when you go to a certain tab, I'll see 3 sub pages. Is this possible? I
can't seem to drag a new tab control onto a existing page of the main tab
control.

Thanks

You can't add a tab control directly to a page of another tab control, but
you can add a subform to the page and the subform can contain another tab
control.

Be careful lest you complicate the forms to the extent that they are
confusing to your users. That is a trap that it is easy to fall into when
you are using multiple "page" controls like a tab and subforms. Really, it
is better to "keep it simple" when presenting data.
