TABS?

[Randy]

When I create a tab on a form thereir are two tab pages. When I put
the fields on the first page and go to the second tab the fields I put
on the first page do not disappear so I can put more fields on the
second page.

Please tell me what I need to adjust or do. Using 2000.

It sounds to me as if you have put the controls on the main form and not the
tab control. Make sure you have clicked the tab before you try to add the
controls. If it is selected then you will be able to resize it. If that
doesn't work then you could try to create the forms as subforms and add them
to the tab that way.

Just deleted the fields and readded the fields from the drop down box..

Dragging a control onto a tab page, or just creating a new control and
clicking somewhere on the tab, puts the control *on the form* in FRONT
of the tab page - not actually on it.

You can fix this up by shift-clicking all the controls which you want
on the first page; type Ctrl-X to cut them to the clipboard; click the
tab of the first tab page (not the surface of the page, but the tab;
the surface should darken to indicate that it's been selected); then
type Ctrl-V to paste the controls onto the page itself.

When you create new controls on the second page, make sure that the
page is selected first.
