Change Tab Captions on a Tab Control

[osera]

Hello,

I have a form (cleverly named Form2) with a tab control (equally cleverly named tabctl29). The tab control has ten tabs, named TabA, TabB, etc.

When the form is opened, I'd like to have the captions on those tabs change to values looked up from a table. So, the form opens and program looks in table and sees that TabA should have the caption "First", for example.

Every code structure I've tried to use to reference the value of the tab captions has given me an error. I'm sure there has to be a way to do this, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks.

Me.TabCtl29.Pages(0).Caption = "First"
Me.TabCtl29.Pages(1).Caption = "Second"
...
me.tabCtl29.pages(9).caption = "Last

Have you tried this ?

Me!tabctl29.Pages("TabA").Name = "First"

Hope This Helps, PH.

OOps, sorry for the TGML mess.

Me!tabctl29.Pages("TabA").Name = "First"

That did it. I was afraid it was going to be something like a '!' where I should have put a '.', and it was.

Many thanks!

That did it
Which suggestion ?

 

[MajP]

both. You can refer to a page by its numerical index or its named index.

Well, I'd suggested the Name property instead of Caption ...

I used MajP's code because I was looking to change the caption, but it looks like either would work if I used:

Me!tabctl29.Pages("TabA").Caption= "First"

Either way, though, my thanks again to both of you for the quick response.
