Tabbed forms in Access 2007 - controls displaying on all!

[SubjectiveEffect]

Hi there.

I'm trying to create a tabbed form in Access but the way its displaying the controls I put on it is really odd.

Mostly any control I create (text box, label, drop-down) is visible on ALL the tabs.

Sometimes it seems I can create controls that are only shown on one tab - which is how I want it.

In addition there is a fair amount of repetition in that I want the same controls in different tabs since the data in them will only be reflective of things stored under that tab.

Therefore I'd like to be able to copy and paste large sections of the form and I'm wondering if this is creating/compounding any of the problems.

What baffles me is I've done this before in older versions of Access without any trouble. I can't find any kind of z layer visibility options anywhere.

Can anyone help?

Be sure that you click on the tab itself before you paste.

This ensures you are pasting onto a page of the tab control.

If you have the tab control itself selected (instead of a page) and then paste, you simply put the controls on top of the tab control instead of on a tab.
