  go to the card - click designer - drag mouse till card is selected -> view properties
  
  this should bring you to the tabcontrol.
  see the PageNames properties - remove the name of the tab you want gone.
  
  IMPORTANT-> everything (fields) moves over one now!!!!!!!!!!!!
  if your last tab is not blank you'll have problems.
  
  If this tab is in the middle - you need to move everything over first.
  
  I hope that made sence. If not make a copy of the form & save it with a new name & number & try it first before doing it for real.
  
  example/ you have tab 1 2 3 4 & you want to get rid of 3 first remove all the fields from 3. Then move all the fields from 4 TO 3. now 4 is blank but has the wrong heading on the tab! When you edit the pagenames and remove tab#3's name - everything will fall into place when you save & compile.

  Please note the fields of the tab and remove all fields on the tab and all other tabs which are after removing tab. Remove the tab from the card properties PageNames and reconfigure your rest of the tabs with required fields.

  no no no no..... don't even touch the pages propertybefore you move the fields around.
  
  Say you have General, Foreign Trade, Item Tracking (Not looking at NAV right now) and you want to remove the Foreign Trade tab.
  
  Here is a step by step approach:
  1: remove the fields from the Foreign Trade tab
  
  2: Move all fields from the Item Tracking tab to the Foreign Trade Tab, so that the Item Tracking tab is empty. If you have more tabs behind that, you have to move all fields for each tab to the empty tab on the left. Don't worry that they are on the wrong tab now, you will fix this in the next step
  
  3: click the empty space in the upper right corner of the tab control, right where a new tab would go. This should select the tab control
  
  4: open the properties page and browse to the Pages property. NOW you can remove the Foreign Trade from the tabs.
  
  5: close the properties page, save the form, close the form, open the form. Your fields should now all be on the right tabs, and the Foreign Trade tab should be gone.
