Yes, Moving the item or items to the fartherest corner is what I wasn't doing. All is working well now. I had to create new forms because there wasn't any room to add a tab box. I had to copy and paste parts to a new tab form.
My next problem seems to be grouping items within the tab box; To copy or align or space items. I have completed about 4 out of 30 new tab forms so far.
