Upgrade to Forms 5 - it has native Tabs <g>
Assuming that the above is not possible, you can use an OCX/Activex control if you can find one. These are the 32 bit equivalents of the VBX controls - I'm afraid I don't know where to get these.
Alternatively, you can 'bodge' it by creating 4 buttons where the tabs would be, slightly overlapping the 4 canvases you need, and using when-button-pressed triggers to try to imitate the look & feel of tabs. This never quite gives the look of real tabs, and requires bespoke triggers to be written, but it will give an approximation.
