tab control...

can i have a tab control that looks to different tables/queries on different tabs...?
(now my whole tab control seems to look at the table/query that is underlying the form)

???

thank you.

You would create a subform for each table/query and add one subform to each tab.

works nice...

the only thing, i need to setup the form first and then link as a subform...

thank you...!

?i would now like to format and align my controls across the tabs (e.g., having the subforms all be the same size and at the same position, etc.)...?

???

thank you.

I don't have any clever tricks for that. You can make set the subform control properties to have the same values for top and left and set the same height.
