| re: Keyboard set focus in tabbed subform?
Your tab control should have a Change event.
In that event, you should check whether the value of the tab control is 2.
(This tells you that you have selected the second tab.)
In this case, you can use code like this:
Me.MySubform.SetFocus
Me.MySubform.Form.MyControl.SetFocus
Use your own names for MySubform and MyControl.
