    Tab control / add existing field


    Hi,
    First post here.
    When I add an existing field to my tabbed form, the field appears on every page within the tab. What is wrong? Please help.

    You didn't actually add to the target tab, the control was placed on the main area of the form. Need to make sure the tab is actually selected before adding control.

    I think I had it selected. But have just discovered that even if you have the target page on the tab selected and double click on the field name that you want to add it is copied to all pages on your tab but when you DRAG it to your page it shows only there. Such a relief.

    Thanks

    Okay, thanks for discovery. I never used the double click so was not aware of that behavior.
