Question on using TABS

Print Post Print Post  
I am using tabs in a form and I'm hiding the labels.  I really like the look of the form when I use them this way.

I move from one tab to another using command buttons to ThrowFocus to the first element in the tab I want to make visible. 

I would like one of the tabs to be the default tab, and for the form to show the default tab every time I enter the form.  I've tried using the ThrowFocus command in the On Form Entry area, but it doesn't behave the same way.  It appears that this command is ignored (there is another ThrowFocus command further in the programming).

Is there some way to make sure one of the tabs always appears when the form is entered?

Have you tried using the GoToTabPage command?

I just tried playing with the GoToTabPage command with no luck, but I'm not sure I"m doing it right.

I have two sets of tabs on my form.  The first group is TABSET.  Would the second set of tabs have the same name?  If not, how do I find the name of the second set of tabs?

Highlight the group of tabs in question, go to the Other tab in the Property Editor, place the cursor in the Name box, and press F5. This should show you it's name.

(Curiously, if you go to the Other tab in the Property Viewer, the name listed there will actually be the name of the specific tab you have selected, as opposed to the name of the tabgroup.)

Thanks!  Using the right name for the tabs and the GoToTabPage command did the trick!
