Hello! Here's the issue:

I need to add a tab page to a continuous form that is always hidden unless the user pushes a button to show the page.

Here's the set-up:
I have a simple continuous form with the following fields:
EmployeeGoal, EmployeeMetric, EmployeeSupervisor, DueDate

The tab page will have the following fields:
WeekNo, EmployeeGoalProgress, ActionItems, PercentAccomplished

Also, all the fields on the form and tab page come from the same source.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
 
Do you mean:

1) You want one form showing the first set of fields and another showing the second set, selctable via a tabbed pane?

OR

2) One continuous form with a button to select another form with the additional fields for the selected record?

If the former you would place each form on a tabbed pane which is itself placed on one main form (not continuous). Uf the latter, then I would use a popup form with its record decided by the appropriate field on the main continuous form on the line for the record selected. I'm not sure why it would need to be tabbed though.

Have fun! :eek:)

Thanks for a quick reply, Alex.

I actually want to show the first set of fields and then show the second set of fields underneath them when a "Show Progress" button is pushed. All of this needs to be on a continuous form. Did that help?

I'll also try a popup form to see how it looks. Thanks!
