Is it possible to tack on an existent control to tab control???

[docmeizie]

Well I am doing some revising to a database and was wondering something. I have controls on a form already, but I want to add a tab control so that I can add some more controls to the form and then add the existings controls to the tab control. Is this possible? If so then how? I would appreciate any help or insight that is available. Thanks in advance.

If I take a peek in your Windows, to fix a problem, does that make me a "Peeping Tom"? Hmmmmmmmmmmv

Yes, this is possible.

A tab is similar to a form with one twise -- the end user has to click on a tab to the associated page.

Two things I feel is important about tab controls...
- It is very important to realize you have selected the page object and when you have selected the tab object
- You can give your pages user friendly names.

There are two tricks when selecting the tab object and the page object. Make sure the property window is open. Navigate to the "Other" tab.

Click on the body of the tab control. The "Name" field will display something like "TabCtlnn" where "nn" is numeric.

Now, click a tab. The Name field should display "Pagenn" where "nn" is numeric.

If you place a command button on the tab control object, the button will sit on top of the tab object regardless of the which page the end user selects.
