Tabbed Control Form

[Walt]

Does anyone know how to set the source of the 2nd tabbed control to a
different table?

For example; Tab A's source is Table A, Tab B's source is Table B, etc.

Thanks

Tabs are "holsters" that hold a form. Usually, each tab is a subform of the
mainform, but you could have a different form on each tab. Right click on the
"holster" (the tab itself) and you should be able to set it up. Drop your
form on that tab and it should work.

To make sure I understand because I am a true novice. I should create forms
for the tables first and then create a tabbed control (with no control
source) and drop the forms on the different tabs. Is that close?

Walt,

You have posted your question to more than one forum. Please check my reply
in the "Forms Design" forum.

Tab controls do not have a row source. In other words, you cannot set a row
source or record set to a Tab Control.

Also, you do not have to create a sub-form for your data before you can use
a tab control. You can actually place controls on your tab control for
fields that are in the record source of the form on which you are placing the
tabl control.

A tab control is just another way of allowing users to view specific data in
an organized manner. The data that is displayed in a tab control can come
from many different sources.

I created a blank (not tied to any record sourece) tabbed control form. I
placed check boxes on it. How do I relate the check boxes to a specific
table?

Let me try to explain better, I have a table with information in it. I want
to use that information for the source of the check boxes and when someone
checks a box I want it input into the input table. I hope that makes some
sense. I looked at the properties for the check box but I don't see options
to do that. Maybe I'm going about this wrong.
