Hey All,

I have a subform that has a tab control, within the tab control are 7 tabs. I have designed the first tab control and want to have the other tabs exactley like the first. However when I copy and paste the controls it pastes in all tabs. Not that much of a problem, but when I change the control source, all other textboxes change. I have tried renaming the textboxes, but again all other textboxes in all other tabs change... Is there a way round this.. I understand I'm being slightly lazy.. but surely I dont have to create 7 seperate tab forms?

Cheers,

Matt

Why would you want 7 identical Tabs?
if you want uniformity Create a master Subform with the Controls on and paste that in to your tabs.

This sounds similar to something I'm doing, and some errors I've fixed. Could you attach screenshots to clarify what you get/want? Thanks.
