Too many bugs in A2002's TabControl... :-(

TabControl problem #1:

I need to add a tab control (tabSub) to an existing tab control (tabMain):

1) I create tabMain with several tabs.
2) I choose one of the tabMain's tabs (page), say tab1.
3) I try to add a "subTabControl". When I select TabControl from a toolbar there's no highlighted area to add a TabControl on tab1.

End user solution: Set tabSub.Visible property according to tabMain.Value.
Programmer's solution for design mode: not found. :-( :-( :-( See problem #3.

TabControl problem #2:

"Send to Back" and Can't set "Bring to Front" don't work correctly with A2002 TabControl.

TabControl problem #3:

This is to resolve problem #1... but I can't make it work.

1) I place tab1 below tabMain. (it's BELOW... not BEHIND). tabSub.Left = 0, tabSub.Top = 8500
2) In Form_Open I try to re-position tabSub (there are a few controls on tabSub pages):
With tabSub
.Left = 100
.Top = 20
End With

This code doesn't work correctly due to existing controls on tabSub. Top & Left properties are set correctly but Height & Width are not handled well. TabControl simlpy doesn't work as a container...

Did anybody test Access 2002 before it was on the stock??? I just can't believe there are so many bugs in one control. :-(

Will there be another Service Pack available soon? Or are there any A2002 TabControl-bugs workarounds?

TIA
