Adjust the width of a tab control on a form?

[forest8]

Hi

In my database, there is a main form and a subform.

The subform consists of a tab control. In this tab control, I have placed
my forms (which have working Master and Child links).

I can't seem to make the tab control narrower than its current size. I want
to make 8 inches wide instead of its current 10 inches.

None of the forms in the tab control are 10 inches wide.

How can I make this change?

Thank you in advance for your help.

It's likely that there is *some* control on the tab page - a line, a textbox,
a label - that's extending out to the 10 inch boundary. One way to find these
vagrant controls is to open the form in design view; select one control on the
tab page (it will highlight, usually with dark "handles" at each corner).
Press the Tab key to move from control to control. At some point you'll find
one that is causing the problem.
