Nested Tabs in A97

[Kahuna]

Hi Folks - I know its not a great design feature but nested Tabs work really
well in a VB system I built and I'd like to replicate the functionality in a
new set of tools I am developing (within a current A97 app).

The challenge is that when nesting Tabs using the Tab Control (one tab
control on a page of a previous tab control) the second Tab Control is
visible on ALL the pages of the Master Tab Control.

Is there a work around to this functionality.

TIA

You cannot nest a tab control inside another tab control in Access.

However, you can place a subform on the page of a tab control, and the
subform can have its own tab control.

Thanks Allen, I got that far with it too, but it was really messy.

Back to 'square one', using a master menu instead of the first layer tabs,
and individual forms from there, with stand-alone tabs.

Cheers for the help.
