Thanks Razzak, it was a focus problem (my wife claims I suffer from focus problems in more than just Rbase programming, but I tell her that's what makes a good application developer, someone who can think out of the box!). I did not realize that I needed to select the focus by using the 'Goto' or 'Next page'. I was clicking on the tab. Thanks so much for your help. I just wish I had posted earlier, prior to putting as many hours into it as I did.

Chuck,
It looks like you are trying to place object(s) on the
Enhanced Tab Page Control without having the Tab Pages.
Have you created the "Tab Pages" after placing the
Enhanced Tab Control in Form Designer?
Do you see "Tab Pages" on the Enhanced Tab Control?
If not, then, first create the Tab Pages and then place
the objects on any given page.
Here's how to add pages to the Enhanced Tab Control:
01. Select the Enhanced Tab Control and right-click for
Object Properties including the option of creating
. New Page
. Next Page
. Previous Page
. Goto
And a few more suggestions:
01. Using the Object List options of the Form Designer
Tool Bar control, find all lost Static Text or DB
Labels behind the Enhanced Tab control and then
delete them.
Here's how:
Form Designer | Layout | Toolbars | Object List
Dock this control anywhere you wish or keep it
floating
Select "All Control" or specific control type from
the list of drop-down Object List
Notice the list of controls placed on this form
Highlight the one you need to delete and click on
the [Delete] key
Repeat this process for all lost controls
02. Now make sure to switch the focus on that particular
Tab Page first, before placing a Static Text or DB
Label controls on it.
Here's how:
Click on the "outer border" of the Enhanced Tab
to switch the focus to this control
Right-click for the speed-menu options
Use "Next Page" or "Goto" option to switch the focus
to appropriate page of the Enhanced Tab
While the focus is on the appropriate page, select
the Static Text (Standard Controls) or DB Label
(Database Controls) and click on the focused tab page
to place the control.
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
