MS Access Forum / New Users / January 2008Form question
I use Access 07 - in the templates that they give you there is a form in the students db that contains "tabs" (maybe "pages" is a better word) at the top of the form. If I am creating a db from scratch and not using one of those templates, how can I create a form that contains multiple "tabs"? Not sure if this should be in New User or Forms Discussion group but since I am a new user I thought the lingo may be a little easier in this group. :) Thanks, Melinda Melinda: In form design view you can add a tab control to a form from the toolbox just like any other control. You can then customize it be adding extra pages as necessary. For controls such as text boxes etc which you want to appear on one page of the tab control you first select that page of the tab control in design view then add the control to it. For controls you want to show all the time outside the tab control just add them to the form in an area outside the tab control in the usual way.

When I click the tab control then click the form it just drops two pages in my form (where ever I click) but then it is as if those two pages are not actually part of the form.

You can add or delete pages and set up each separately. -Dorian > Thanks for the help.
