Tab control on forms

I have added a tab control to a form and want to have to tabs on it with different fields visible when you click between each tab. When I add a tab control and drag fields to the control, they show up on both tabs rather than just one. What am I missing?

RE: tab control on forms

Hi
An easy one to miss, I did it many times.

When using a tab control you must drag the fields directly onto the tab field area from the FIELD LIST. You will notice that the tab area highlights when you do this, indicating that it is on the tab section.

Otherwise you are just adding the field to the whole form.

Test it out with a blank form

Regards

Richard

Access tip:

Action queries

Unlike select queries you cannot use action queries as a data source for the use with forms or reports,as they do not return a dataset that can be read.
