Your form will have at least two blocks ('mstr', 'dtl', and maybe 'ctrl'). The 'master' record is handled by the 'mstr' block. The 'detail' record is handled by the 'dtl' block. REMEMBER that each item can only appear on one canvas/tab. Build a 'relations' between the two blocks using the relations wizard. Create 'tabs' on your 'canvas'. You can move through the 'tabs' by clicking on them with the mouse. If you need the same item displayed on two different tabs then you will need to create a non-database item in the 'dtl' block which is a copy of the database item (there is an item attribute to say if an item is a copy of another item). Also you will need to create a When-Validate-Item trigger to copy this non-database item back to the database item.
