I found I need to draw this on the current tab where it belongs to the tab and not the form. But Ive already created the combos and text boxes and would like to consolodate and save space by using tabs. Is there a way to do this without doing everything all over again to draw it on the tab. Thanks for you help.
If you "Cut" the contol from the main form, select the tab you want it on, then "paste" it, you will only have to select [event procedure] in the relevent event on the controls properties. The actual code is not deleted when you cut. So you do have a bit of work ahead of you, but not a mountan.
