I have a form that works properly in and of itself. If I make this a subform
off of another form, that works as well. However my ultimate goal is to
embed the subform as a page on a tab control. This form will show on the tab
control, but all of the textboxes now show a #Name.
Is this possible?

Thanks in Advance.

You can't make a subform *as* a tab page, but you can certainly put a
subform *on* a tab page.

The Tab Control actually has no effect on the linkage or referencing
of subforms - it's just a way to manage screen real estate. What's the
Recordsource of the subform (on the tab page)? What are its Master and
Child Link Fields? If you put the subform on the main form (say,
expand the form beyond the size of the monitor and put it in a clear
area) does it work correctly?
