Well, perhaps by dragging a "Tab Control" from the toolbar to your Form
in Form Design View?

But a Tab Control doesn't "look at" the contents of a Query. It's
useful for saving space on the screen by displaying only some subset of
the controls on your Form. Click on Tab 3, and the controls stored
there become (potentially) visible and usable.

If you can't see (e.g., via a Text Box) a value that your Query should
display, you might try putting that control directly onto the Detail
Section of your Form (not using a Tab Control for now) and playing with
it there until it works as you want it to. After it's working, you can
put it back into a Tab Control.

A Tab Control is just another control, in the toolbox - like a Listbox
or a Subform control. It's used to share screen real estate.

Putting a tab control on a form has nothing specifically to do with
"to look at something in the query" - and I really don't understand
what you mean by that. Could you explain? What's the Query, what do
you want to see, and what are you expecting the Tab Control to do for
you?
