Guide
Open your database in MS Access.
Go to the 'Create' tab.
Go to the 'Form Design' tab on the Ribbon.
In the 'Controls' group, find and select the 'Tab Control' icon that looks like a tabbed folder.
Click on the form where you want to place the tab control. It will create a default tab control with two pages.
To rename a tab, double-click on its label, and enter the new name.
To add more tabs, right-click the tab control and select 'Insert Page'.
To remove a tab, right-click on the tab and select 'Delete Page'.
Switch to 'Form View' to test the functionality of the tab control and verify everything works as expected.
Save the form by clicking 'Save' from the navigation pane.
