Tab control nightmare

[arage]

On my tab control form (2 tabs) what I do to one tab happens to the other also & I don’t want this. How do I stop it. In my case I add a control to one tab, it appears on the other also. I delete the control on the ‘other’ tab and my control on the ‘original’ tab disappears. Please advise.

First select the page of your control by clicking on its labelled tab. You should see the page and every object on i selected (surronded by small black squares). Then select the control you want to insert and place it on that page (if you did not deselect it meanwhile you should see that it turns black untill you insert your object).

You need to make sure that you have only selected the tab you wish to work on. I have had this problem, and it is to do with selecting the object rather than just that tab.

HTH,

yes, what's happening is that the controls you've added are 'floating' in front of the tab control object, rather than being attached to a particular page, you can highlight them, <ctrl>X to cut them, select the tab you want them on, then <ctrl>V to pate them onto that page.
