    Tabs in forms

    I have different tabs in one form and trying to link the different tabs to a different tables for record source. The reason is that each tab has checkboxes that I am trying to link to a text box for date/time and I want the to show in differnt tables.
    Thanks for any help

    You do not 'Link' individual Tabs on a Tab Control to different Record Sources. Typically, what you do is:
    1. Set the Record Source for the Form, then place individual Controls on each Tab then set their Control Sources to Fields defined in the Form's Record Source.
    2. Embed Sub-Forms into 1 or several Tabs, each with their own independent Record Sources.

      Just to clarify ADezii's suggestions, you can to either # 1 or # 2 or both. But you don't have to do both.
