Default 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?

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.

Thanks. I'd tried before and, for some reason, it didn't seem to work.
It has done this time, though (apart from the name, of course).

Most Strange

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.
