SUMMARY
=======

This article describes how to place controls on a page in a page frame by using
the Form Designer. It discusses how to drop a control on a single page in
contrast to placing a control over all the pages in a page frame.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Placing a Control on a Single Page
----------------------------------

The page frame has to be active in order to place a control on a single page. To
achieve this, once the page frame is on the form:

1. Click the right mouse button on the page frame. The frame's shortcut menu is
  displayed.

2. Select Edit from the menu. A hatched wide border is drawn around the page
  frame.

3. Select the page you need to use, and drop a control on the page.

The Edit option from the right mouse click will also allow you to activate other
containers such as option groups and command button groups.

Placing a Control On All Pages in a Page Frame
----------------------------------------------

Here are two methods you can use:

- Cut and paste the object. Then follow the above procedure to drop the control
  on every page.

-or-

- Place the control over the page frame. To do this, ensure that the page frame
  does not have a wide border. Then drag the control onto the page frame. The
  control is then contained in the form and not in a page of the page frame.
