Hey Susan Where applicable to a project I loved using the tabs. Some of the tabs had information that was static (enter once) other tabs would contain an embedded subform (most times a continuous form) to collect ongoing data. Again where applicable each tab would have it's own set of print buttons, eg. <Print History>, <Print Graph> etc, etc. It became a no brainer "one stop shopping" for the client. They loved it everything was there in their face, no second guessing as what to do next. It was easy to use because it was intuitive.

Each animal has three sets of health related topics -- health exams, weight, and vaccines. I want to relieve the user of a lot of extra clicks to get there, regardless, so tabs seems like a good way to to. I'm thinking a tab for acquisition and disposition might be a good idea down the road too -- I already have those in place as individual forms, but in retrospect, yeah... they kind of go together -- the animal comes in, it leaves eventually.
