Combine existing forms in one form using TABS

Can I integrate 3 existing forms (all based on the same query) integrate in
one form by using Tab's?

Thanx for thinking,

You surely can. It may or may not be easier to use, depending on the
specifics of the data and what you are doing with the forms. When tab
controls first were available, I did a small application with just one tab
control and asked for feedback on ease of use. In that case, the users said
it was no easier to use than other similar applications with separate forms.
Your information and processing may be such that your users will find it
better.

I think it will be easier on the users... But remains the question: HOW
exactly do I combine three existing forms into one using TAB's?

FYI: it is a MIS (Management Information System)
On the first form we note our hours (Left Home at: Back Home at: Lunchtime:
etc etc). This is mostly meant for my direct chief.
On the second tab we have to divide our time between different sort of
activities, all related to customers (Time spent installing program, time
spent explaining program etc etc). This is for the management that doesn't
care how long I was in my car but who wants to know what I did whilst being
at the customer and the third tab is for management too, there they wanna
see all the job-related activities (time) that are not directly being paid
for by a customer.

But the ever important question: how do I combine three existing forms in
one using TABs? I am a newbie! (but not a complete nitwit though ;-p)

Grtz and thanks Henro
