Tab control, how set active tab when form opened ? 1

[gazolba]

I have a tabbed control, when I open the form that it is in, how do I control which tab is the active tab?
Different tabs need to be active under different circumstances.

Hi!

I usually set focus to a control on the tab I wish to "be active".

Else, you could use the pages collection of the tab object:

[tt]Select Case <somecondition>
case 1
me!mytab.pages(0).setfocus
case 2
me!mytab.pages(1).setfocus
'...
End Select[/tt]

Or use the page name:

[tt]Select Case <somecondition>
case 1
me!mytab.pages("FirstTab").setfocus
case 2
me!mytab.pages("SecondTab").setfocus
'...
End Select[/tt]

Hi

You couild just set teh value of the tab control itself eg

MyTabControl = 1

this will make tab 1 (they are numbered from zero) the active tab
