Hello Ed, tab pages are just physical platforms on which forms are displayed, just like any other CANVAS. You can place items of the same form on different tab pages. To do what you described, you can create a multiple row form on one of the tab pages and add SYNCHRONIZED ITEMS (using "synchronize with item" property) to the same form but on a different tab page. The synchronized items can be set to display only one row. Hope this helps, Igal
