Question regarding Access controls and transparency to other tabs.

[Skalm]

Hello,
I am using a template in Access 2007 and I added a few extra fields into a
form that has 3 tabs. They appear nicely on the first tab but also on the
second tab of the form in the same place.

How can I tell the new fields to appear on the first tab of the form and not
the second?

Thank you for any help

That means you did not place the controls onto the TabPage but rather on the
form "in front of" the TabControl. You need to "cut" those controls to the
clipboard, select the desired TabPage, then "paste".

A good test is to move the entire TabControl a bit to see if the control
also moves. If not, then it is not on the TabPage.
