Acccess 2007 tab control

I am making a form in an Access 2007 ADP project and I am using a tab control. I added a few pages and all went well until I added a fifth page. Some, but not all of the controls on the previous page show in the new page. I know they are the same controls because if I move it the one on the previous page moves. I can't find any help on this and it's a show stopper.
Thanks

re: Acccess 2007 tab control


Controls of a TabControl can be either on a tab page or on the control itself. Apparently you did not click a tab page before creating the new control.

Fixing is simple. Select the controls, and Cut (Edit->Cut or cntl-x). Then select the desired tab, and Paste. If the desired tab was already selected, select another tab first, then the desired tab, or this might not work.

I find this feature you discovered useful for such command buttons as "Clear Tab". Then I really do want the same button on all tabs.
