Open Tab Form to Specific Tab 1

[seb2]

Basically my question is this: How do I have the Tabbed form open to a Tab other than the first one?

I have a tabbed form for table updating. Each tab is for a different table. On normal 'opening' it doesn't matter which tab is shown upon opening. However, I would like to establish a link from another form for the user to quickly update information for one of the Tabs only.

Anyone got suggestions?

Just set the focus to any control on the page you want. Rick Sprague

How can that be done? When the Tabbed form is opened from the Switchboard, the first tab should show. But when opening from a different form, tab 3 to show. I know how to set the general focus of the form on open, but how do I establish exceptions when being opened from different forms.

You can use the OPENARGS property to tell the tabbed form it's being opened from the other form, and then set the focus to a particular PAGE on the tab-control.

Look up OPENARGS in the help system - it's simple to use.

Sounds good.....I knew it could be done, just needed direction. If I can't get it working, I'll get back to you.

Thanks!!!!!
