Copy and paste controls
I've got rather a lot of controls on a form (Access 2000) and, since
it's all getting rather overcrowded I'm considering using tab pages. Is there any way I can cut and paste the controls I've already created onto new tab pages on the form and not have to recreate things like their names, tag properties and so forth? Steve |

Steve Cut them, select the desired tab page, and then paste. All you should have to replace is the "[Event Procedure]" entry for all events you are using. The code will still be there, but the property setting will be lost. -- I don't check the Email account attached to this message. Send instead to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com |

It has done this time, though (apart from the name, of course). Most Strange Steve |

If you Cut and Paste rather than Copy and Paste the names will not be affected. This would also be required to maintain any code. -- I don't check the Email account attached to this message.
