I am trying to add a tab control on a page in another tab control.

I find that I can see the tab control on other pages of the orginal tab
control.

You can't put a tab control on a page of another tab control. I know of two
workarounds:

1. Put a subform on the tab page, and put the new tab control on that
subform.

2. Put the new tab control on the form in front of the original tab control,
and use the original tab control's Change event to make the new tab control
visible only when the original tab is on the desired page.

You cannot, except by putting a subform on the tab page and putting a tab
control on the subform.
