tab control - firing a page on-click event

[Chuck55]

How can the on-click event of a page in a tab control be fired?

I have created the page on-click event and the event code. (I did so by left clicking on the page name tab > right clicking on "Properties" which displayed "Page:" in the upper left corner of the properties box > clicking "on event" tab and selecting "on-click"). When the form is in form view and the page tab clicked, the event never gets the focus. I did place a stop in the left margin at the start of the event.

Most developers have found the OnClick event ofn the page almost useless. We use the OnChange event of the TabControl instead and then figure out what Page was clicked on.

I do not see the OnChange event for the TabControl. In design mode, clicking on different areas of the TabControl, I found two sections, Page and Section w both having the same 5 events but no OnChange. I am using Access 2000.

Am I not going through the right steps to find OnChange for the TabControl? Is there another procedure to determine what page has been selected?

ps - this summer I will be in Colorado, for four months, at 8,500 feet.

I don't have ac2K but try Access usually gives a name like TabCtl.. to the object. See if you can find it another way.

Hope it's helpful

Private Sub YourTabbedControl_Change()
  Select Case YourTabbedControl 
        Case 0  'First Page
               'Code for Page 1
       Case 1  'Second page
               'Code for Page 2
       Case 2   'Third page
              'Code for Page 3
     End Select
End Sub

When you view the Properties dialog there is a ComboBox at the top of the dialog that will let you move to the objects on the form.

Problem solved. I was able to access the properties for the TabControl by clicking on the blank section to the right of the last page tab and by clicking on the edge of the TabControl. I created an OnChange event that did what I needed.

Excellent! Thanks for the update.
