    Keyboard shortcuts to view Tab Control

    I am a form with a Tab Control. Each of these tabs/pages contain a subform. Is there a way I could press a shortcut key to view a certain tab?



    For example, I have three tables. tabAlpha, tabBeta, and tabGamma. I would like to press [alt]+[b] to open/setfocus to tabBeta.

    Do you mean with the & character in the page caption? It sort of works. If there are subforms on the tab pages, once a subform has focus, shortcuts to the other tabs cannot be recognized. Might be able to replicate something in VBA using keyboard events but I've never tried.

    Similar to & in captions. However, that doesn't work because of the subforms. I need to somehow do this through VBA
