Tabbed Forms: Conserving Screen Real Estate

A tabbed form is an alternative to a multipage form. Access 2007 includes a built-in Tab control that allows you to easily group sets of controls. A tabbed form could, for example, show customers on one tab, orders for a selected customer on another tab, and order detail items for the selected order on a third tab.

Adding a Tab Control and Manipulating Its Pages

To add a Tab control to a form, simply select it from the Controls group on the Design tab and drag and drop it onto the form. By default, two tab pages appear. To add more tabs, right-click the control and select Insert Page. To remove tabs, right-click the page you want to remove and select Delete Page. To change the order of pages, right-click any page and select Page Order.

Adding Controls to the Pages of a Tab Control

You can add controls to each tab just as you would add them directly to the form. Remember to select a tab by clicking it before you add the controls. If you don't select a specific tab, the controls you add will appear on every tab.

Modifying the Tab Order of Controls

The controls on each page have their own tab order. To modify their tab order, right-click the page and select Tab Order. You can then reorder the controls in whatever way you want.

Changing the Properties of the Tab Control

To change the properties of the Tab control, click to select it rather than a specific page. You can tell whether you've selected the Tab control because the words Tab Control appear in the upper-left corner of the title bar of the property sheet. A Tab control's properties include its name, whether it is visible, the text font on the tabs, and more.

Changing the Properties of Each Page

To change the properties of each page, select a specific page of the Tab control. You can tell whether you've selected a specific page because the word Page is displayed in the upper-left corner of the title bar of the property page. Here, you can select a name for the page, the page's caption, a picture for the page's background, and more.
