[AccessD] Fw: Tab limits for tab controls

Are you setting the indexes of the tabs and not seeing them in that
order?  I think one of our forms with 12 tabs in two rows is a mess, but
then I didn't create it. ;-}

Drew's the technique artist -- I just write this stuff up. :)

Re: The tabs -- a form with 877 tabs is a mess, and I've noticed that
the form does NOT display them in order -- which is odd. I tried it with
255, which I originally assumed was the real limit (and may actually
be), and it's the same mess and weird arrangement.

I'm wondering if Access will let me add pages to the collection even
though the control itself can't support them? Would it do that?
