Control events lost after pasting onto tabcontrol

After adding a TabControl to an Access 2000 form during screen
redesign, I found that when cutting and pasting a group of controls
(option groups, option buttons, command buttons, MSFlexGrid) into the
first page of the tab control, no control events were fired by any of
the pasted controls, even though their appearance changed as though
events were being triggered.

I found that new controls defined in the tab page generated events
normally.

Any ideas?

If you will check the Properties, you'll find that the Properties of the
copied control do not indicate that there is event code. However, the event
code is still in the Form's module, under the same name. If you have not
renamed the controls, all you have to do is click the down arrow in the
events for which there was/is code, and select "[Event Procedure]". Once you
have restored the indication of the event code, clicking the box with three
dots will take you to the proper code, and the event code will execute when
the event fires.

It's not that the event didn't fire, it's that the event property was no
longer indicating that the code existed.

A quicker method is to go to the code window and cut and paste the whole
module (press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V) this will restore all event
procedure properties.

Hi all - we've recently switched up to 2005, and I'm having trouble getting the hang of some things, among them, creating a control for the project. Currently, we use a combination of controls on a TabControl - mainly a grid on one tab, and a checkboxlist on the other, that coordinate back and forth, so (un)checking a box will hide or show a column on the grid. In addition, I would like the flexibility of adding a DataSource at design time...

I'm developing a Wizard type program, and I'm flipping between steps by using a TabControl.. buttons on each tabPage move to the next or previous tabPage. When I press CTRL+Tab however, the tabControl begins to cycle through the tabPages, just as it does in Visual Studio, IE7 etc.. any tabbed program. I need this blocked.
