When creating a Form for a table/view it would be nice to have "tabs" (sometimes it is called notebook) here. Some tables are quite wide so not all fields fitting to one screen. Sometimes scrolling is not the wish. So tabs would be a nice solution. MS Access support this.
FileMakerPro also offers this, as did Lotus Approach (Bento for MacOS did as well) - it seems to be quite a common UI paradigm. My understanding was that this something similar to what you want is already possible via the Basic IDE using the controls available there, but that is not the same things as a multi-tabbed form. The problem is that a form is a Writer document, irrespective of whether it is stored within an ODB file or outside thereof. As Writer documents don't support multi-tab views, it seems unlikely that what you want is ever going to happen. I am personally in favour of such a possibility, but as I'm not a coder, I won't be the one making it happen, nor do I have much idea of what kind of investment (in terms of coding, respect for ODF format obligations, etc) implementing your suggestion would represent.
Seems that what you would like, or at least something very similar, has already been requested (thought so, as I used to use Lotus Smartsuite and missed this feature too) - see bug 33173 - marking this as a duplicate of that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 33173 ***
