Convert form to tabbed, subform on 2nd tab (1 Viewer)

[kyllei]

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out a way to do this without having to start over.
I have created two forms based on two different tables in the same db.
1) I want to convert Form1, which was created with form wizard, to be tabbed. 2 tabs.
2) I want to copy Form2 into the second tab of Form1.

If I cannot do this then I'll just make Form2 a subform on Form1 but I'd prefer to do that with tabs.

I'm new.

Thanks in advance.

I've searched the web and i've searched this forum. I can create, from scratch, a tabbed form but I couldn't find any information about converting one to a tabbed form. I tried it and maybe if I could send the pages to the back and bring the fields and field labels forward that would work (would it?) but i can't find out how to do it.

I wouldn't post here if I hadn't done some searching first.

You can convert a form to a tabbed form, but you have to select all the controls and then do a cut and then select the actual tab you want to put them on and then hit paste. See here for more about that.

And the second form WILL be a subform on the first form, even on tab 2.
