I'm tryingt to persuade a tab-control to honour the request to make itself a multi-row control.
Environment is Access 2010, and I have been adding pages to a tab-control,. and now discover (as I get into useability evaluation) that the form has been pushing back the boundaries of the right-hand side of the page. This leaves lots of fallow land outside the planned area of the tab-control.
Fine, I thought, I'll make it a multi-row tab-control. Here's the property to set - just click it over to Yes.
No.
Hmmm, I thought, probably because it's going to honour the way it was originally set up. I'll see if it works from the get-go. So I set up a brand new database, and added a single form with a single tab-control. Before doing anything else I set it to Multi-row, and added new pages with gay abandon.
The pages marched steadily across the screen, and yet another instance of available space which I don't want to use.
Can anyone help me learn how to turn a single-row tab-control into its multi-row cousin?
Thanks,
Tony
