Hi

I want to put one tab control in one of the tabs of
another tab control.
When I try it is evident that the two tab controls are
just put on each other.
When I click on one of the tabs in the "main" tab
controler, the second one is still visible.
It doesn't "belong" to that tab in the main tab controler.

It there any way to fix this?

Regards
Wayne

Hi

I have done this, and it workes fine for me. Are you sure
you didn't "miss" the excisting tab when dropping the new
one on the form?

Best regards

Hi Jens

Thanks for your reply.

I'm 100% sure I haven't missed it.
Just to make sure I made the main tab control huge and
then created a new, much smaller tab control on top of
that one. Still the same thing.
When I switch between the tabs in the main tab control the
small one stays on top of all the tabs in the main tab
control.

When I drop another control on to the tab control then the
main part of the control turns black. With the tab control
that does not happen.

Maybe you have done it in the XP version?
I'm doing it in Access 2000.

Wayne

You are correct. Unless it was changed you cannot put one
tab control onto the page of another. You can however
create a form with a tab control on it and then use that as
a subform in a form and place it on a tab control in the
main form. When the main form is open it will look just
like a "tab within a tab".

Thanks for your answer as well Rick

I did as you said and entered it as a subform and it works
just fine apart from one small detail.
In the subform I get the data control (or however it is
called) at the bottom and I also get a big thing on the
leftside of the form with an arrow on it.

Can this be removed?

To get rid of the arrow - Go into the design view of your
form and get the forms properties up. Then on the 'Format'
tab change the Record Selectors to NO.

Not sure what you mean about the 'data control' do you
mean the Navigation buttons ?? if you do then put them to
NO aswell

Hope this helps
