Not sure what you mean by "bleeding". Are you sure that the text boxes are
actually IN the tab control, not just sitting in front of it?

Access 2003. I am having a whole form in a subform control on a tab control
"bleed through." Also, the last page on the tab control is selected on moving
to new record, but contents of last page are "behind" the subform/form on the
page that is NOT selected.
Did you find anything out about this?

It's not actually bleeding through - it's floating in front of the tab
page, and is logically "on" the main form, not attached to the tab
control at all.
To fix it, select the Subform (or any other control) in form design
view; type Ctrl-X to cut it; select the tab of the page that you want
the subform on (the page surface should darken indicating that it's
been selected); type Ctrl-V to paste the control onto the page. You
can then move it around where you want it.

I've been down that road before and I don't think it's that problem. If a
control is logically on the main form, then in design mode, it appears "on"
every page in the same spot. That is not the case here. In my example, each
page has its own subform that appears in design mode only when that page is
selected. I can reproduce the problem this way:
- Form loads on first record, page 1 showing. There is only ONE RECORD in
the main form in this example.
- click on page 2 (page 2 form shows)
- click on a main form text box in the detail area OUTSIDE the tab control.
- roll wheel mouse FORWARD to NEW RECORD
- roll wheel mouse BACKWARD to record 1. When I do this, the last page of
the tab control is highlighted, but the form showing on the page is the form
that belongs on page 2 and the form for the last page is underneath (I can
see it peeking out around the edges). This happens even if I temporarily
remove the last page, its associated form and the code in the remaining
prpooject that refers to it. In this case, when you "wheel" back to record 1,
the NEW last page is highlighted and ITS form is blocked by the form that
belongs on page 2!
Have you ever seen this?

No; but then I never use the mousewheel feature (and have it disabled
in all my Access apps because it's so flaky).

I normally disable the mouse wheel as well, and I did that to solve the
problem. How do you disable the mousewheel in Access? The way I did it is
pretty clunky.

I've forgotten whose website I snitched the code from <looking around
guiltily at my fellow MVP's> - try http://www.mvps.org/access and
search for mousewheel.
