areas such as queries or tables. I was wondering how this could be
done.........

Tables are for storing data, queries for retrieving it. Forms, including
forms with Tabs are for displaying that data. Do not allow users to work
directly in tables.

Create a subform in Datasheet View for the table or query that you want to
view and add that to a tab on your main form by first adding the tab
control, then dragging the subform onto the control, from the database
window or Nav Pane.
