Tab Control

I want to use the tab control as my form and inserted one into my form but
it's a blank control with 2 tabs. I can't add addtional controls, text
boxes or anything to this tab control. Further, there aren't any properties
that allow binding to a data source. How do I get started with this? Further
the toolbox wizard does not run when I click on it.

thanks,
mike

A TabControl is simply a way to manage form real estate. It is not a form
and has no RecordSource or ControlSource. New controls can be dragged from
the control ToolBox and dropped onto the TabPages. You should see the tab
on top "highlight" as you drag a new control over it and then you can drop
it there.

Existing controls can only be moved onto TabPages by cut and paste. Cut
them from the form to the clipboard, select the desired TabPage and then
paste.
