can't see control in detail section when add Tab control

[babs]

I cut my controls from my detail section of a form
Added the Tab control - to the Detail section of the Form
selected the TAB for first page- so Tab was selected and pasted Back the
controls onto the page
In design view it looks fine
when I go to Form view all I see is the header and nothing in the detail
section
What am I doing wrong???

Thanks,
Barb

So the detail section is completely blank? This happens if there is no
record to display on the form (because its recordsource returns no records)
and no records can be added on the form (because either the form's
AllowAdditions property is set to No, or the form's recordsource query is
not updatable, or the database or table is read-only).

I can't think of anything in the process of simply transferring controls
from the detail section to a tab page that would cause this. Are you sure
the form didn't have this problem before?
