Refer to several tab pages

[fsivas]

Hi!
I´m working in a database in Microsoft Office Access 2003 with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.5. I have 8 Tabs in a form.

I´m just wondering if there is a better way to reduce this lines:

ChildTop = 3100
ChildLeft = 9000
ChildWidth = 8000
ChildHeight = 5200
Me.Page1Child.Top = ChildTop
Me.Page1Child.Left = ChildLeft
Me.Page1Child.Width = ChildWidth
Me.Page1Child.Height = ChildHeight
Me.Page2Child.Top = ChildTop
Me.Page2Child.Left = ChildLeft
Me.Page2Child.Width = ChildWidth
Me.Page2Child.Height = ChildHeight
Me.Page3Child.Top = ChildTop
Me.Page3Child.Left = ChildLeft
Me.Page3Child.Width = ChildWidth
Me.Page3Child.Height = ChildHeight
Me.Page4Child.Top = ChildTop
...

You would be better off taking this question over to the Visual Basic Form.

I'm not sure Don.

This is presumably a VBA form object we're talking about.

The answer rather depends on there being some sort of pages collection. Let me see what I can find.

Try this :

Dim ctl As Control

ChildTop = 3100
ChildLeft = 9000
ChildWidth = 8000
ChildHeight = 5200

For Each ctl In Me.Controls
  If ctl.ControlType = 124 Then
    ctl.Top = ChildTop
    ctl.Left = ChildLeft
    ctl.Width = ChildWidth
    ctl.Height = ChildHeight
  End If
Next ctl

The ControlType value of 124 indicates a Page control of course.

Sorry about that NeoPa, it's just that I find that much of what works in VBA doesn't translate quite as you think it should over to Visual Baisc 6.

No apology necessary Don. It wasn't too clear - although the OP obviously did their best to be specific.

My solution will probably only work for an Access form. If it turns out to be a VB one, then they'll need to follow your advice anyway ;)
