MS Access 2003: Add Objects to Tab Pages

This MSAccess tutorial explains how to add objects to the pages in the tab control in Access 2003 (with screenshots and step-by-step instructions).

Adding objects on the Tab Pages

The next thing you'll want to do is add objects (ie: text boxes, combo boxes, etc) to your tab pages.

Select the tab page that you'd like to add the objects to. In our example, we're going to add objects to our General page.

Now, just drag and drop your objects onto your tab page.

In this example, we've created an OrderID and an OrderDate field on the General tab.

One thing to note about tab pages is that the objects that you create on a tab page, only appear on that page. As you can see, if you select Page2 of the Tab Control, you no longer see the OrderID and OrderDate fields.
