So glad somebody brought this up, because recently I was doing that "cut and paste" trick to put controls on a tab-control page - and hmmmmmmm - the pasted control seemed to live above the tab-control layer or something. It showed up no matter which tab I clicked. I was trying to move a subform from the main form to a page in the tab-control. Ultimately, I recreated the subform, and all its backup code, directly on the tab-control. But, hey - that used to work in earlier versions of Access. What happened in AXP? Or, do I have something screwy that just needs to be reinstalled? Tina Andy Lacey wrote: >I agree with Joshua.
