Tabs on Tabs?

[NateHaze]

Is it possible in Access 2007 to place tabs on a tab? Like if I wanted a tab for each of 5 cities on my main form, but then on each city's tab I wanted a tab for each of 5 people?

I have never seen this done, but I believe that you can take subforms down at least two or three levels. If you make your tabs part of subforms then it might work. As I said, I have never tried this. Have you tried to do this? If so, what happens?

there shouldnt be anything wrong with it I wouldn't think. you can stack controls as much as you want.

subforms have lower z-indexes than the rest of the form controls do. controls dont have z index properties officially, but you can use the "move to front" option in the right click menu (in the ribbon for 2010) to get your stacked tabs on top of each other.

that's what I would think at least.

I was not able to place tabs on tabs, but adding a subform and then adding tabs to the subform worked. Thanks for the replies!
