Attaching control to a tab

In Access 2007, I'm having difficulty in dragging an existing control from a
form onto a newly created tab. It appears to not really become a part of the
tab itself; rather, it just kind of sits there. I know that in earlier
versions of Access, that I could easily drag a control onto a tab and have it
become part of the tab.

What am I doing wrong? (I think I'm really starting to DISLIKE Access
2007....)

Actually in ALL versions you can only easily drag NEW controls onto
TabPages. For an existing control you have to Cut it to the clipboard,
select the desired TabPage, then Paste.
 
The important part of Rick's answer is

"select the desired TabPage!"

Otherwise you're adding the control to the form itself, and it will show on
all tabbed pages. Of course, there may be times when you *want* it to appear
on all tabbed pages! You might, for instance, want an ID Number to appear on
all tabbed pages so that the user knows which record they're on!
