How to place a control on a Multipage Contol

[Bula]

I insert a MicroSoft Forms 2.0 Multipage control on a form, and try to
place some controls such as buttons, text boxes, labels on Page1 and
Page2 of the MultuPage control.
When I run the form, all the controls I placed on the multipage
control are invisible. Obviously, these buttons and textboxes etc are
placed on the underlying form, instead of on the Multipage pages.
Could anyone tell me how I can place controls on each page of a
MultiPage control?
Your help is highly appreciated

Since you're posting this on this forum I assume you're speaking of using it
in an Access app. The problem is that Forms 2.0 Multipage control is
intended to be used in an Excel Workbook! Access has it's own version,
available on the Tools Menubar. They're called Tabbed Pages. The icon looks
like several file folders stacked together. Here's a very short tutorial I
keep for when someone asks about using this:

First thing to remember is that the Tabbed Pages are all part of a single
form; think of it as a really long form turned on its side. Because it is all
one form, all referrencing to any contol on it is done in the same manner as
if they were all on one single screen. Create a form in Design View. Goto the
toolbox and click on the Tabbed Control icon; it actually looks like several
manila file folders. Place it on your form and adjust the size to your liking.
If you need more than the two tabbed pages it initially gives you, click on
the tabbed control to select it. Goto Insert and click on Tabbed Control Page
and another tabbed page will be added. Do this as many times as neccessary.

This is the really important part: when you go to add a control to a tabbed
page, you must first click to select one of the pages, then add the control.
Otherwise, the control will be added to the form itself, and will show thru
on all tabbed pages!

Once you have the form's Control Source (your table or a query) set up, you
simple add controls as you normally would, heeding the above paragraph.

Good Luck!
