i am trying to use a TAB control to access 3 different subforms, one per tab, but when i drag and drop the subform onto the appropriate tab i get a jumble because each subform appears on all 3 TABs, i have rooted around in the properties for the form and both the general tab and the specific tab and have found nothing. i have set the background from transparrent to normal, then i cannot view anything that i drag and drop. i need 1 subform for each TAB... help

After you have selected the subform, when you drag your cursor over the tab page, it will turn black. You must drop it on the black highlighted area.
