Access 2007 copy and paste, tabbed form

[fraser_lindsay]

Hi,

I'm using A2007. I have a number of forms which use tab control for easier navigation.

I have spent a consdierable amount of time sorting formatting and appearance and am now making some major changes to database structure.

I am trying to add a nested subform to a tab on an existing form. If I drag the subform onto the tab it shows all content on the form. Not what I want.

If I create a new form using my parent and child tables and it creates a new form and subform the form shows the parent record and child records only linked to the parent. This is what I want. However I don't want to have to fix all of hard work on formatting.

If I try to cut and past that subform (or any other field) from the form that works onto my older, nicely formatted form, it just 'floats' over all tabs and renders tab control useless.

Why does it do this and how do I fix a pasted item on to a tab?

Thanks,

Fraser

Thanks Pat.

After some more searching (my first search was poor) I found people reporting the same problem. It appears you have click the specific tab and double check that that specific tab control is highlighted then paste into it.

If you don't and you cut and past by selecting teh centre of the tab it doesn't seem to work and the objects just float over them all. It's quite annoying, but I'm glad I've found it now, it's been extremely frsutrating.
