Bind fields to a tab control question

I just spent 3 days creating a form for my job with all the info they requested. Today I'm told to add a couple of other items they need to track so I want to go with a Tab Control. I really would hate to have to re-do all my designs and coding. I know with Access's Tab Controls you have to choose the field and place them so once you see the background turn dark you're set to go. Of course I moved my already previous designed fields to the tab control and it doesn't turn dark and it's going to repeat on every tab. I moved all the fields, combo boxes, command buttons to the bottom of the new tab control. Is there anyway I can do what I'm trying to do so I don't have to re-create the entire form again from scratch?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I've already spent 3 days on design and coding and would love to just move those fields and see that magic background turn dark.

 
Hi! You will love how easy this is. For any control you want to move, select it and cut it to the clipboard. Select the tab page you want to paste it on by clicking that tabs page. Paste - voila!

Be sure that the page itself is selected, not just the tab control. You will see a double set of black selection handles indicating successful selection. Hope this helps.
