Subforms in Tabs: Can They Be Dragged-and-Dropped In, or Cut-and-Pasted?
Hello, I have a question or two about using tab controls and subforms. I am using Access 2021, and am a novice at database design. I am designing a movie collection database, and I currently ha...
JackD2275 This should be a one-time process, when you first create the interface. As such, it seems to me that this is not really a problem. Whether you drag and drop the subform from the navigation pane or insert it via the ribbon, it's once and done. I can't quite picture a situation where there would be a cut and paste operation, or any need to re-create subforms.
What do you mean, though, by "... do I have to build the subforms over again, from scratch?" Perhaps we're not understanding the actual problem.
Thank you for replying. I successfully cut-and-pasted subforms into tabs. I haven't tried dragging and dropping yet.
When I said "from scratch," I meant this: If it were not possible to copy-and-paste or drag and drop, then would I have to create the subform all over again, as if it never existed?
But I have since discovered it's actually easy to move a subform into a tab, so the "from scratch" issue is no longer relevant. Just ignore that.

- I think I just realized that what you meant was not "cut" and paste, but "copy" and paste. I'm glad you found a solution.
