Tab Control

I'm attempting to have two tabs on a form and I've cut and paste a form from
a separate database into my page1 form. My problem is the data shows on
both pages, almost transparent to the tabs. The only way I can get it to
work properly is by dragging and dropping fields into the Page1 form or
Page2 form. Is this the only way to activate a current form by dragging and
dropping into the pages vs, cutting and pasting from a somewhere else?

Thanks

What's happened is that the form controls are *in front of* the tab page, not
on it. YOu need to cut and paste it onto the Page - cut it from its source,
select the page by clicking the tab, and then paste.
