multiple pages

[Guest]

i have created two pages in a form using the corresponding button from the
toolbox. i have created an option group and combo boxes in the first page.
Suddenly i realized that the combo boxes appear in the same position in the
second page too. if i delete them from the second page they are automatically
deleted in the first page too! why is this happening? could there be
something wrong with the tab indexes?

So common a mistake that I have a file just for answering this question! 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!

Of course, there are times when you may want a field to show on all pages,
such as a client name or an ID Number. In that case, click to select the form,
as opposed to one of the tabbed pages, and add the control to the form. It
will now, as you've discovered, show on all pages!
