I can't figure out how to add new tabs to an existing tab container in 6.2. Seems it is only me who don't get this. Please advice.

Right-click in the cell, select Insert, Tabs.
If you have 3 items in the cell, then 3 tabs will be created (you can add more later).
One suggestion if you want to put multiple fields on a tab - drag-and-drop Blank Panels. If you want your fields spread out on say 5 tabs, drag-and-drop 5 Blank Panels. Right-click, Insert, Tabs. Each of the 5 blank panels will be in its own tab.
Then, use Cut and Paste. Cut from the any zoom level, then zoom into the first blank panel and paste.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Razi

Thanks! That helped. To others, this is how I did it:
Right click on the cell where the existing tab and tablepanels are and "Remove tabs" (yes you have to remove existing tabs first. That's where I went wrong) Zoom to your master RecordControl (so that you can see related panels) and drag a related panel into any cell. This brings up the Tablewizard. Cut the new tablepanel you created. Zoom back to the cell where you have all the existing tablepanels and paste it in. Right click and "Insert tabs".
Thats it.
Regards
Atle

Oh, That's much easier than how I was doing it!
I was adding a blank panel to the cell containing the TabContainer and then editing the cell to move the new Gen anel tag into the TABCONTAINER tag. Of course the you have to manually change the "ParentTabContainer" attribute (or create it) for the added tabs.
The advantage to this method is that it preserves the existing Tab Text for the existing tabs. If you have 4 tabs and you've set the text on them and then remove the TabContainer to add a new tab, you have to redo the text on the tabs.

Yes, That woud be perfection!
I tried it your way and it is indeed a lot easier to remove tabs/add blank panel/then add tabs.
Although I DID have to redo the tab text 3 times because I kept adding tabs.

Akesh, I hope you started a wish list thread for saving Tab Titles. It's an annoyance but as you said, so much better than the old way.
