Tab Control weird behaviour

[chogben]

Every now and again the controls outside of the tab point to a different record to those inside the tab. Moving off the record and back again seems to fix it, but it keeps re-occuring. This happens less than 1% of the time.

Does anyone what's causing this or more importantly, how to fix it.

Here's some background.
It's a split database - an .mdb for the data and a .mde for the front end. All the controls in question are from the same table. The .mdb is 10mb and the .mde is 1.5mb, both sit on a network. The files are compacted daily. User security has been applied. There can be upto 10 users logged on, but only a few will be 'active' at a time.

I beleive you have a timer running on another form open at the same time as this one with the tabs. Everynow and then that form tends to steel code focuss in the background. Make sure that before you run any kind of continuous code in the tabbed form smth like while, loop make sure to bring focus to your form explicitely in code

smth like

forms!my tabbed form.set focus

Good luck,
