Place image on Tab Control page

[Guest]

I'm using Access 2000 - I have a form with a Tab Control page. The Tab
Control page has 6 tabs. I have a series of text boxes on each tab for
entering data. I want to place an individual image on the relevant tab next
to each individual text box. The reason for this is I am using an on click
event with the images, which displays a pop up box, which displays a question
for that individual text box. Because I have limited space.

The problem is when I insert the image it appears on the form and not the
Tab Control page, then when I drag the image onto the Tab Control page I get
6 images, 1 on each tab. I need to place the image on just 1 tab at a time.

Thanks I advance.

Unfortunately, you can't click and drag to move items onto tab control
pages, you have to cut or copy the control to the clipboard, select the tab
page, then paste the control. I have an article on using the tab control,
including a description of this issue, at the following URL ...

Thank you Brendan. I had a look at your article but couldn't get the cut and
paste to work. I have used command buttons instead, which will suffice for
what I need.

If the command buttons meet your needs, great, but it can be done with an
Image control ...

1) Place an Image control on the form.

2) Assign the path/name of an image file to the Picture property of the
Image control.

3) Right-click the Image control, and from the pop-up menu choose Cut or
Copy. (Choose Cut if you don't want to leave the original copy where you
placed it on the form. Or choose Copy and delete the original copy when you
are done.)

4) Right-click the tab of the first page on which you want to place the
Image control, and choose Paste. As an alternative to right-clicking the
tab, you can select the page from the 'Object' drop-down list, which is the
first control on the Formatting (Form/Report) toolbar in form design view
(unless, of course, the toolbar has been customized).

5) If you want more than one copy of the Image control on this page, repeat
step 4 above.

6) Right-click the tab of the second page on which you want to place the
Image control, and choose Paste.

Repeat steps 5/6 as necessary for each page.
