Child Table only on first page of tabbed form

[vb9063]

Hi,
I created a form using the wizard which automatically put in a table that were related to the forms own table. So I have a table of fields in my form. But I then decided that I wanted a tabbed form within the form that could be used to include more information. So I inserted a tabbed form from the control toolbox. But the table is now showing up on both pages of the tabbed form and I cant seem to find out where to change this so that the child table only appears on the first page. I have tried to delete the child table (but am not sure how to put it back in in the same format, ie i know you can "add existing fields" but this only seems to add fields in a text box form (unless I am missing something!).
Thanks again!
Vicky

If you have got only 1 subform, in that case you dont need a tab.

No, I will be adding at least 3 tabs to the form

First of of all I'd suggest you take a backup of your database, or at least your form to avoid losing any hard work you've spent designing your form so far.

To get the subform (I assume that's what you mean by child table?) to sit in a tab page, use cut and paste i.e. cut the subform, then click on the required tab so that the whole tab appears highlighted, then paste (right-click paste in the highlighted area). There's undoubtedly other ways.

If I've misunderstood your question, maybe you could post a screenshot.

Thanks very much Stopher that worked!

Good to hear.

I forgot to mention that I have occasionally experienced the parent-child relationship breaking when i copy/paste so if broken then just add it back (in the subform control properties).
