Form size problem:
I think the problem is I don't seem to have vertical scroll bars on
the forms I'm trying to create in 9.5. When I look at all the forms I
created in 7.6, they had vertical scroll bars when I was in designer
and when they were in use. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone here.
I don't think I had to manually add them in 7.6 and I don't see a way
to add them in 9.5. Am I losing my mind?
Tab confusion:
Maybe I don't understand the whole tab thing. I put a 2nd tab on my
form and right-clicked to Add New page, and it only allows me to place
the tab objects side by side. I thought I could create a tab that
would be the whole size of the form. But if I make my tab object that
big, it won't let me add a 2nd one. Right-clicking on a new tab is
the only place I've seen to add pages. Is that what you're talking about?

Form Size can be set by clicking the "Form Properties" icon on the
toolbar. Set the width and height there, although on my machine with
display settings set to 1280 x 1024 the maximum height I could set the
form to was 1036.
As to tab pages, you can't go to another page until you have added
it. The page that is displayed is everything that is below the TAB.
You should click on the area below the TAB, then add your controls to
that area. When you have added additional pages, you click in the
area of the tabs themselves and then select NEXT PAGE, PREV PAGE or
GOTO to navigate between them.
It is important to click on the body before adding controls as this is
the common mistake made with people wondering where their controls
disappeared to. It is because whatever area of the form had focus
last is where new controls are placed as that is the controls
containing object.
