Tabbed Form / Number of Tabs per row
Hi All,
In Acc2K, is there a way to control how many tabs are on each line in a multi-row tabbed form? I've got 14 tabs, 9 of which show up on the second row with the balance on the first row. I'd like to rearrange this such that there are 7 per row. Any help is appreciated. Thanks & Ciao |

I believe all you can do is to adjust the width of the tab control, and/or of
the tabs themselves so that in the end, you'll have an even 7/7 split. "Tony" wrote: Hi All, In Acc2K, is there a way to control how many tabs are on each line in a multi-row tabbed form?

Tabbed Form / Number of Tabs per row
Niniel,
Thanks for the response - good suggestions and ones I considered. However, each tab has a subform which needs to be a specific width. If I resize the tab control I won't have enough room to properly display the subforms. Any other suggestions? Thanks "Niniel" wrote in message ...

Tabbed Form / Number of Tabs per row
Sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear - adjusting the width of the tab control
sets the width of the tab pages, so if you need a certain minimum size, you obviously can't do that. However, when I spoke of adjusting the width of the tabs I did not mean the tab pages, but just the tabs you click on. Their width can be adjusted as well, by going to your tab control property sheet [the one where you set it to multi-row] and putting a value into a field called "Tab Fixed Width". This will cheat Access' automatic tab handling which will try to fill the first row first before putting any tabs that didn't fit onto the next row. But if the tabs are just the right width, Access has no choice but to split them the way you want. "Tony" wrote: Niniel, Thanks for the response - good suggestions and ones I considered.

Ah, now I see. I'll give that a shot and post back as to whether or not it
worked. Thanks for the assistance. "Niniel" wrote in message ...

Tabbed Form / Number of Tabs per row
Gave it a shot and it worked, for the most part. Something I've always
noticed in Access is tripping me up. Even though I can set measurements to 4 decimal places, it doesn't always respect that and plops in something close. Not sure why that is, but it ends up leaving just a tad of space unused in each row. Not a big deal, but it's a bit annoying. I'll keep tweaking and see if I can make it 'just right'. Thanks again for the suggestion; this is the first time I've worked with tabbed forms and am learning a lot. I appreciate the help. Ciao "Niniel" wrote in message ...
