Forms and Subforms using Tab Control

[PaveFE]

Hi,
I have a form using the Tab Control option so that I can put subforms in. Not a problem except, when I insert a subform on the additional tabs (pages) and format it the way I want (e.g. colored labels, boxes where I want, etc), they show up looking like the table when I switch it to form view. Is there a way to keep the look, such as one I would create with a regular form? I hope this is specific enough.
Thanks,

VD

What view do you want your form to be? If not Form view (either normal or continuous) then it's datasheet view. Since you mention coloured lables etc I assume you want continuous form view and perhaps you are getting "normal" view. It's not really clear sorry. But regardless of your exact meaning, you are aying that behaviour of a subform is different when it is placed on a tab control page? I did not know this so I will take a look out of interest. I assume you have tested this theory by putting the subform outside of the tab control and it looks OK?

I just whipped up a form with a subform on a tab control and it behaves just like it does outside of a tab control.
