    Tab Control

    I am trying to embed several subforms that will be controlled by tabs. I get
    the message "The operation on the OLE object failed ...etc.
    I tried using the suggested solution on the MS web site to register the
    Triedit file and got the message... succeeded. Still unable to embed tab
    control though. Where should I go from here?

        Re: Tab Control

        okay. i'm not sure i understand the question, then. tab controls and subform
        controls have nothing to do with OLE objects. to add a tab control to a
        form, just open the form in Design view, open the Toolbox toolbar from the
        View menu, click on the tab control button on the toolbar, and click on the
        form where you want to place the control. ditto all that to add a subform
        control, after which you set the SourceObject property of the subform
        control and, if you want the RecordSource of the subform linked to the
        RecordSource of the mainform, also set the LinkChildFields and
        LinkMasterField s properties of the subform control.

        if the above doesn't help you, please explain in some detail exactly what
        you're attempting to do.
