Text Box on Tab Forms

Has anyone had a problem with text box's on tab forms. I
have added a tab form with several tabs. I inserted a
couple of Text Boxes and then decided to copy and paste
those text boxes because they were the size I wanted and
it is much easier to cut and paste instead of resizing
every text box.
Well, one little problem occured when I did that. Every
text box that I cut and pasted is now listed on every tab
form.....I went thru the properties of the text boxs that
were only on the one form vs the ones that showed on all
forms, but didnt see anything unusual..

Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks in advance.

page.

Repeat your process of cutting the textbox, but then click on the tab page
"tab" to make it "active", and then paste the te
