Tab control insert on a tab control

[Doo-Dah Man]

How can I insert a Tab contol within a tab control and have it only
show on the page I have inserted it? Right now, although I am
inserting on a specific page, it is visible on all pages.

There must be an easy way to do this!

You cannot place a tab control on the page of another tab control.

However, you can insert a subform that has its own tab control.

Not AFAIK. There are 2 work-arounds:

1. Insert a SubformControl on a Tab Page and then in the
Subform, insert a (smaller) Tab Control.

2. Have both TabControls on the Form and position the
smaller TabControl so that it appears to be inside a Tab
Page of the bigger TabControl. You will need to use the
(bigger) TabControl_Change Event to make the smaller
TabControl visible / invisible depending on which Page of
the bigger TabControl is the active Page.

Option 1 worked great. Thank you!
