While practicing with my first solution, I created a new layout for my fields. these fields where containing student informations from year one to year five. So using the TAB TOOL, i assebled the fields to be placed on TABS (created four 5 tabs in total for each year)

 

Now, I mistakenly moved all fields in the first tab (ie YEAR ONE) , and now i cant grab or move out the fields for the other TABS... all are stock inside YEAR ONE TAB...

 

Each time i tried to highlight the fields to copy, the whole TAB seems to be highlighted, PLEASE HOW DO I UNTAB the fields or move some fields out of a TAB?

To deselect the Tab (or any object) while keeping the other items selected, just hold down the shift button and click on the tab again. 

 

Thanks Mathew...

please, how do i view topics have have been replied. I posted two quetions, i managed to see this on the homescreen page, is there a way of searching for your topic to know if there has been some replies?

Also see this tip from FileMaker help:

If you click and drag starting outside your tab, the cursor selects everything it touches, including the tab.

 

However, if you hold down the correct modifier key when doing the drag operation, you only select objects entirely within your drag rectangle.

 

Regarding your other question, I recommend always using the "View New Content" feature, look towards the top right of the screen here.

thanks Bruce
