Okay, not a difficult task I know. But what I want to do
is move items already created on a form into a tabbed
menu. This doesn't seem to work. Access only seems to
allow you to add items into a tabbed menu if you drag them
from the tool bar or field list. Is there a way around
this?? I have already designed a form with loads of
controls on it but want to change the design of the form
to use tabbed menus. I don't want to re-create the form
to do this.

Help would be gratefully received.

Cheers,

Dan
 
Cut (Ctl-X) the controls from their existing location, click on the tab to
select the appropriate tab page and then Paste (Ctl-V) them onto the
appropriate tab page. Then go through each control and relink each event
property to it's event procedure (On the property sheet). The event code
will still be in the form's class module - but on the property sheet, the
'[Event Procedure]' will be gone so you have to reselect it.
 
I don't know what I'd do without you, Sandra!

Thanks again!

Dan.
