Tabbing Across Tabs 1

[Sethington]

I have a form that is using 10 different tab pages. I want to be able to tab to each tab. What I mean is once I get to the end of my first page by tabbing it will move to page 2 instead of looping back to tab index 0 on that tab page.

Any suggestions?

One way would be in the On Exit sub for the last control on your first page set the focus to the next page.

Where LastControlName is the name of the last control on the first page:

Private Sub LastControlName_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
SecondPageName.SetFocus
End Sub

The Missinglinq

There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

 

[ZmrAbdulla]

[tt] me!mytab.pages(1).setfocus[/tt]

or
[tt]me!mytab.pages("SecondTab").setfocus[/tt]

Your code worked great thanks. I couldn't use "Me" though because when you have tabs and subforms you have to refer to the main form so my code looked like this.

On Lost Focus

Forms![mainForm]!myTab.Pages(1).SetFocus

I couldn't use "Me"
Even like this ?
Me.Parent.myTab.Pages(1).SetFocus

Hope This Helps, PH.
