Hi all. I'm fairly new to Access. I am creating a database for my son's
school. I have a main form "frmFamily" with the parents names, address,
etc. I want to create a subform which is basically a tab control with each
students name as the tab header. The number of tabs will need to be between
1 and 6 depending upon the number of kids at the school from a given family.
(highest I know about is 6--busy little rabbits) Each tab on the tab
control would be linked through a queary to tblStudent with their unique
information.

How difficult is this to do? Is this eaven a good approach? I have to
believe that this problem has already been worked out by somebody...can you
point me to a reference?

Thanks,
Carl
 
Hi,


We cannot create the tabs, dynamically, in normal view, but we can
hide/unhide them. So, you can create 6 tabs in design, but invisible (except
one), and turn them visible as required.

It would be far easier to have a plain standard subform showing one
record (child) at a time... mainly if you consider "how" you would add a new
child... it is already there for standard subform...


Hoping it may help,
