Change position of tabs on tab control to the side.

[darbid]

I am wondering if I can have a multi-multi-tab control. With tabs on the top AND side.

Can you change the position of the tab buttons of a tab control to the side?

I also see there is a multi-page form control as well, maybe this is an option.

There is no native method for this in Access. As a workaround you could select the Tabbed Control (be sure it is the entire control rather than a page on the control) then go to Properties - Format and set the Style Property to None, and then place Labels wherever you like, using their OnClick events to navigate to the appropriate Tabbed Control Pages.

Seems like a lot of work for a cosmetic effect, but my motto in life has always been 'to each his own.'

Thank you. I am only asking because about 9 years ago I made a form in Word and I am not sure it exists anymore.

I have attached a word template with the form in it. It is I think a multipage control but even then I cannot work out how i did it.

Could I trouble you to tell me what this was. It was not done with Office 2003 but I am not sure if it was 2002 or 2000.

...I made a form in Word

I'm confused; what does a form you made in Word have to do with an Access database? You're talking apples and oranges here.

At any rate, I can't open the document, using Word 2003, as there appears to be a custom Macro missing.

Sorry!

I thought it would be rare that Microsoft created a control for Word which would not work in Access.

At any rate, I can't open the document, using Word 2003, as there appears to be a custom Macro missing.

Ok when I get off this work computer and on a home one I will try opening it. As I have tried opening it on 2 computers here at work and it is ok.

You can import this into word through the VB Editor.

The MultiPage control is an ActiveX MS forms. ActiveX is, as you know, something you should avoid if possible. I would imagine the MultiPage control you refer to is pretty much the same as a Tab control.

Have you looked at the MultiRow property of the tab control? Or that doesn't meet your needs?

Now I understand what you mean. I have stripped all the code out.

You will only be able to view the form in the VB editor, you can still see what it is.
