Adding whole form to tab control

I have several forms which I would like to add to several different pages on a tab control form, one form to each page.
I've tried dragging the forms in as you would when creating a subform, but that just puts the dragged in form on the background form, not the tab of each form.
I've also tried cutting and pasting the contents of each form, but the pasted results still appear on the background form.
Is there any way of doing this?
 
Click on the tab, select a subform control from the toolbox and choose your form as the control source.
 
Also you should be able to do it the way you suggested, you need to ensure that you are selecting the specific tab before dropping on it will fall onto the main form not the tab control.
 
Thank you. I'd forgotten to select the tab. It's always the most obvious things that get overloooked.
