I added a new tab to a form but now the fields I create on it also appear on
all the other tabs. Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
(Access 2003, SP1)

TIA!
 
Sounds like the fields (actually, they are "controls") are not on the tab,
they are just on the form itself. You need to copy and paste them. when
you paste, make sure you have the tab control highlighted. It's a bit
tricky but once you do it one time it will make sense.
 
The new text boxes are sitting directly on the form, instead of on one of
the pages of the tab control.

To fix the problem:
1. Select the problem text box.
2. Cut to clipboard (Ctrl+X).
3. Select the page you want, (by clicking that tab on the tab control.)
4. Paste. (Ctrl+V).
 
Thank you both. Is there any way to just create the fields on the tab to
begin with, or do they always have to be cut/pasted after they're created?
