Navigating a Tab Control

[Marcus]

I have a tab control with 3 pages. I am on page 2 of the Tab
Control, and I am trying to set the focus to the 1st combo box on
that page.

I have this so far:

Me.cboMOI2.SetF ocus

but, instead it sets the focus to cboMOI1 which is on page 1 of the
Tab Control.

I also tried

Me.pgStartDate. cboMOI2.SetFocu s

but that didn't work either.

Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

Re: Navigating a Tab Control

these both worked... between the two, you should be able to sort it
out.

Private Sub Command19_Click ()
'--just returns some inane thing like
' cboName=Dog
'--in a message box

Dim strMsg As String
strMsg = Me.TabCtl0.Page s(2).Controls(0 ).Name & "=" &
Me.TabCtl0.Page s(2).Controls(0 ).Value
MsgBox strMsg
End Sub

Private Sub Command20_Click ()
Me.TabCtl0.Page s(2).Controls(0 ).SetFocus
End Sub

so you should be able to use
Me.TabCtl0.Page s(2).Controls(" ControlName").S etFocus

just as well. Just modify to suit your needs.

One other fun thing - the tab controls don't act like real containers
(like a subform does), so you can't have two controls on the same tab
control but on different pages... (Was wondering why I couldn't
specify a tab number of anything when I was in the QBE!)
