Label Shows On Multiple Tabs

[Guest]

I have a form that has three tabs. On the first tab, I have three buttons,
each with a label off to the side. For some reason, one of these labels
shows up on all three of the tabbed pages of the form, while the other two
labels only show up on the first tab (where they belong). I can't figure out
why. The properties of all three labels look to be exactly the same.

Any hints are appreciated.

You have to be sure, in Design View, to click on the tab for the particular
tabbed page you're aimimng at before adding a control. You apparently didn't
do this with the particular label, and so it was actually placed on the form
itself, rather than a given page, and so shows up on all tabbed pages. This
can actually come in handy at times, such as if you want the identifying
field to be visible, no matter which tabbed page you're on.

Thanks - you're exactly right. I cut that control out, selected the specific
tab, and added it back in, and it only shows on that tab.

I agree about the handiness of having something show on all tabs - I'll keep
that in mind for future form designs.
