tabs on forms (1 Viewer)

[grayth]

Hi quick question I want to set up a tabbed form where each tab pulls out information from different tables but I cannot seem to be able to show the field list needed so that I can place the various controls on the form. how do I do this??

Should be the icon on your toolbar that looks like a piece of paper with lines on it. If you toolbar has somehow unviewed itself (happens to me all of the time) right click on you main menu bar and click customize, then close the window. I don't know what causes this, but it's quite annoying at times.

no I know what the icon looks like it's just how do I get the field list for other tables other than the one I pick for form? This way I can create tabs that show data from other forms

Create forms from your tables and drag them onto the tabs as subforms. It's a fiddly task but it can be done.
