simple...

Hi,

Im a total beginner to VB.. I want to create an application thats just incorporates a few property sheets controlled by a tab control. How can I do that the easiest way ??
Thanks.

Formulate your task more clear.

The best fit for your case would be to use Microsoft Tabbed Dialog ControlTabCtl32.ocx. This control's design time look and feel will be like that in run time.
so you create a tab control on a form (select & draw it to approp size). Define the no. of tabs, in the propertied window. You will immediately see that many tabs appearing in the design window.
Then you select each tab, and pick and place the other set of controls you want to add for that "property sheet" like labels texk boxes, and btns etc
Their design time appearence is more intuitive.

If you use the tabstrip control that comes with the Windows Common Controls set ComCtl32.ocx, you have to place your controls that constitute a "page" on a seperate container typically a "Frame" control, and write the logic for displaying yourself on the _click event
