How do I make or change tabs in the form view?

RE: Forms

Hi Lauren

Tab forms are usually used to display data from two or more tables on a form.

If you need to create tabs on an Access form you do the following:

1. In the form design view select Design under Form Design Tools .

2. In the Controls section select the Tab Control

3. With the mouse draw the area to be covered by the Tab. The Tab object appears on the screen with 2 page tabs

4. Use the Property window to rename the Tabs

5. Click the Add Existing Fields button in the Design ribbon.

6. Select the fields from the relervant table and drag them to the relevant tab page

The form will now allow the user to enter/view data in two or more tables.

Hope this helps

Carlos
