Can I attach my sub-form to the tabs I just added?
I wanted to have two subforms on one page, instead of just the one I
currently have...so I added in the 'tabs' from the toolbox, but I can't get my original subform to 'attach' itself to one of the tabs. They are just sitting there, independent of each other....is there a way I can attach or assign my subform to one of the tab pages, without having to re-do it? Thanks for any help with this problem! |

As fasr as I know, you should click the tab control where you want to insert
your subform and click the subform/Subreport tool in the toolbox, and add a subform control to your tab. Then, set the Source Object property to your existing subform, then, set the Link Child Fields and Link Master Fields properties to the appropriate field names. Hopefuly you will find this easy to do.

This is a bit of a pain but doable. Select the Subform (be sure it's the subform *control* not the form within that control; there should be selection 'handles' on the sides). Type Ctrl-X to cut it to the clipboard. Select the desired tab by clicking *on the tab* itself - not on the surface of the tab page. Type Ctrl-V to paste the subform; then move it where you want it.

Hi! Can anyone tell me where I can find the Subform Control that John Vinson
is talking about? I found 2 and I'm not sure which one to use. -- Dorothy "John Vinson" wrote: On Wed, 7 Dec 2005 09:37:02 -0800, "LynneMc" wrote: I wanted to have two subforms on one page, instead of just the one I currently have...so I added in the 'tabs' from the toolbox, but I can't get my original subform to 'attach' itself to one of the tabs.

John's saying to select the subform control that you've already pasted onto
your form that you want to move onto a tab. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!) "Dorothy" wrote in message ... Hi!
