Tab Strip or Multi-Page?

[fmascioni]

Hello. After looking at some of the posts on this subject I'm still not sure what the difference is and which one to use. The application is a data entry user form. Each Tab or Page would be a different category of data that may be entered by a different user. I will need to hide / show pages or tabs depending on user inputs.

Any suggestions on which to use?


I already looked at the Microsoft web site on this subject and still wasn't sure.

The difference (so far as I remember) is that Tabs are essentially replicas of each other.

For example if your categories are 'Counties of the UK' and you are collecting 'Population', 'Employment', 'Gender %' etc you are collecting the same data for each category and would use Tabs.

If you are collecting different data for each category ie For Counties on the coast you only want details about beaches, For landlocked Counties details about Parks, then you would use MultiPage.

And I need to think up some better examples!
