Morning,

Is there a way of moving the tabs within the form designer?

I have 8 tabs and need to move the display order of them all.

I've done masses of work only to fine out that the person who wants this needs it in a different order!

Dear Roo,
Unfortunately, there is no direct way, but there is an option for you to transfer the layout more or less easily. You'll need to place a Table inside of each tab, and place all the tab contents inside of this table. Then, you can drag the table out and inside another tab, keeping the layout intact.

Hope this helps!
Cheers

another approach is to export the form, open the export in notepad or any other editor, reorder the elements in the tabs control manually and reimport the changes.
This is the way i achieved it. But you need to know html and dont make a mistake, otherwise you can "destroy" your form :)
Inside the editor, an option to rearrange would be nice! (*feature request*)

Thanks for the replies. Agreed This would be a relly useful additon - Especially when you have users that cannot make up their minds!!
