Differences between using multiple pages and tabs on a form

There are two ways to create a form with more than one page. You can use a tab control or a page break control.

A tab control is the easiest and most effective way to create a multiple-page form. With a tab control, the separate pages are all built into one control. To switch pages, you click one of the tabs.

You use a page break control to mark a horizontal break between controls on a form. When you press the PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN keys, Microsoft Access scrolls to the page before or after the page break control.
