Hello,

Thanks in advance for your help!

My application contain a number of forms that overlap. I am not crazy about the look. I want a tabbed interface so multiple forms can be opened at once. I would like each form to have a separate tab so users can easily see the available forms and click on the one they want. Also, I want to disable the maximize/minimize property of all the form, so that the user can not resize the forms. Is this possible?

Again, thanks so much!





 
You could create one main form, put a tab control onto the main form and then add as many pages to the tab control as you want forms open at once. On each separate tab page put a subform control containing each of the forms you want to display.
 
Thanks Magicmandan for your help,

I am a bit confused. Thank you for your patience, I am still learning VBA. My application has a main menu, which the user selects sub menus from. Each form represent a different table in the database. How do I put a tab control on the menu? Also, if each form represents a different table, is it logical to put a tab control on the main menu?

 
Thanks Magicmandan

This is exactly what I need. Just learned something valuable!
