subform floating on main form

[Guest]

I have created a main form with two tabs. In one of the tabs, I inserted a
sub-form. However, the sub-form seems to be floating on the main form/tab,
i.e. the sub-form is always visible regardless which tab I click. As a
result, I am unable to see part of the fields in the other tab even when I
click on the other tab.

Can anyone tell me how to make the subform visible only when the tab
containing the subform is clicked?

Thank you
Gine

Gine,

Before adding the subform (or any other control for that matter) onto a tab
page, you must first select the page's tab.

1. Right-click the subform, and select Cut from the context menu.
2. Click the tab of the page on which you want the subform to appear. Don't
just click the page itself - click its tab.
3. Press Ctrl+V.
