Possible Bug: Tab & Calendar Controls

Hi Everyone -- I have a form with a Tab control which started out with two
tabs. On the first tab, I have a calendar control in addition to others.
Today, I inserted a 3rd tab and here is where the possible bug occurs.

The Calendar control from the 1st tab is displayed in the 3rd tab in design
or normal view. If I delete or move the Calendar control from the 3rd tab, it
is also removed from the 1st tab. This is more a nuisance than anything and
quite annoying when working in design view.

Anyhow, is this a bug? If so, is there a known work around?

TIA!
 
Roach,
In order for a control to be placed on a tab control, that control must be Pasted onto
the tab page while the tab is "selected." Otherwise, the control is considered to be on
the main form, and will show through each tab control. (your situation)
Select the calendar control and Cut or Copy it.
Select the individual tab page you want the calendar displayed on, and Paste.
The Calendar control will only display on that specific tab page.

The other method concerns "dragging" controls from the toolbox, or the Fields listing.
Select an individual tab page, and drag the control or field onto that page. That too,
will cause the object to only show on that tab page.
