How to Make a Tab Control Invisible

[cforput]

Hi all. I have a form with a tab control on it (and 4 tabs or pages). By default, the tab control is invisible. I have a button on the main form that makes the tab control visible (me.TabCtrlUtiliities.Visible = True). Works great. What I can't do is figure out a way to have a button on any of the tab pages that changes the tab control back to invisible. I can get it to work with a button on the main from but not from a button on any of the pages in the tab control itself. I have tried setting the focus back out to the main form and then tried to change the tab control back to invisible but that doesn't work either. Any ideas? I'm a total novice at VBA stuff. Can you tell?

Thanks
Craig

How? If you've actually tried setting focus on the main form, it'll fail; a form can only receive focus if it has no controls on it. Instead, try returning focus to some object on the main form instead and then make the tabbed control invisible.
