Convert tab on form to freestanding form

[Guest]

I have a tab on a form that I would like to remove and save it as a
freestanding form. Can this be done?

Create a new blank form and leave it open in design mode. Open the form with
the tab control on it and switch to the tab you want. Select *all* of the
elements from that tab you want on the new form and copy them to the clip
board at the same time (^C). Switch to the new form and paste (^V). The
elements will retain their same relative position but you will need to set
the ControlSource of each unless you set the RecordSource of the form first.
Good Luck.

Thank you. I thought it would be simple. I had actually tried that and got an
error message which means I have a bigger problem, possibly corruption. I
appreciate your prompt answer.
