Placing a combo box on a tab object

I inserted a tab into a form with 4 pages. I also placed different combo boxes on each page, however, I only want access to those combo boxes that appear on the designated page. Currently if I place a combo box on the first page, then it appears on all pages. I only want it to appear on the first page. Any ideas?
 
It's all about how you drop the combo on the form. In Design View first select the tab of the page you want to put the combo on. Then click the combo control on the toolbox toolbar. Hover your mouse over the middle of the selected tab page - the page area should go black/shaded. Drag and drop the combo in the shaded/balck area. Hey presto - the combo is only on one page of the tabbed control. Sounds like you've dropped a combo on at form level and it's in front of all the tabbed pages.

Thank you. I will give this a try.
