Two Pages in one form?

I am trying this my form works great with all kinds of controls and after
update event procedures but after I copy and paste controls on to new form
with the pages(tab control) names are all wrong-

Not real clear on where in access you are doing the shift/click - I have
the main/subforms open in design view ? do I select the upper left corner or
select Form option then cut - is not available, tried cutting form from
form list and not able to Past in design view of new form.

What am I missing here????



Thanks,
Barb

This happens very easily if you put the tab page onto the form after
controls already exist. Dragging controls onto the page doesn't work!
They're not "on" the tab page - they're *in front of it*, logically on
the form itself.

What you need to do is shift-click all the forms which belong on the
first tab page; type Ctrl-X to cut them to the clipboard; select the
desired page by clicking the *tab*, not the surface of the page (the
page should darken indicating that it's been selected); then ctrl-V to
paste the selected controls. Then do the same for the other set of
controls.
