Help on an 'Options' tab

Hi Guys,
I'm making the 'Options' section of a program and have got my tab control on the Options form OK, the various forms are on the tab and all that sort of thing and it seems to work fine. But I'm now at the bit where I want to put the 'OK' and 'Cancel' (and possible 'Apply') buttons on it. Adding them is no problem, but should I add them to the main 'Options' form where the Tab control resides or should I add them to the individual forms that go on the tabs?  Perhaps it's just personal preference?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks :)

In this type of situation, I put the OK and Cancel on the main tab form so that it is visible always. Seems redundant to put them on each of the child tab form pages.

Yes it seemed a bit silly doing it for each child tab form, but as I've never done this before, I figured maybe I was missing something.

Thanks again for the advice.
