Form with multiple "tabs"

[forest8]

Hi

I am trying to create a survey in access but would like to separate the form
into sections: General, School, Family, Relationships, Needs.

Instead of creating 1 single form, what I would like to have are "tabs" for
each section.

How would I go about and create this?

This is very simple. Just pick the 'Tab' control on the toolbar and click on
your form to make an instance of the tab control there. It starts with two
tabs, but you can right-click on the control and select 'Add page' as many
times as you need pages. Other controls are picked from the toolbar in the
usual way and dropped onto the appropriate page of the tab control. The tab
control changes color when the cursor 'carrying' a new control is moved over
it - if it doesn't, your new control won't be added to the tab control, but
directly onto the underlying from. Whichever page is active (on top) will
get the new control.

All other functions work normally. VBA allows some additional magic when
controls are on tab control pages, but their normal functions remain intact.

Hi

It may be simple to you but it's still a bit confusing to me.

When I select the tab control, I can't seem to add any info for the form
within the tab. It blacks out and I can't seem to add any details.

Also, is it possible to do this after I created the forms I want for the
"tabs"?

Thanks

It is ture that the tab turns black when you drag a field onto it, but if
you release the mouse button the field should be added. Is this not what is
happening for you?
