tab control focus question

[mortgsteps]

I have access 97 on win 95<br>My question is this:<br>I have a tab control with 5 tabs, each page has a subform.<br>When I open any tab the focus seems to be lost. I have tried to setfocus in the&nbsp;&nbsp;onenter event of the subform using the page control syntax from th page collection help.<br>None of these seem to work. When I put a msgbox on the gotfocus event of the first control on the subform, the box does not appear until I click out of the control and then click back in the control.<br>The setfocus code looks something like this:<br><br>set tbc = forms!sometab!tabctl1<br>set pge = tbc.pages(tbc.value)<br>pge.controls(&quot;some_form&quot.controls![some_control].setfocus<br><br>the tab,subform, and control all have the correct values<br>Any ideas???

Placing a TAB control on a form does not make each TAB face a different form.<br>You have to write VBA code or create macro's to get the TAB control to behave.<br>I don't use it for that reason.<br>That's why they invented the Switch board.<br> <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you.
