Problem with a startup script

[MrDeej]

Hello!

I am trying to make a startup script which selects a predefined TAB page from a form at startup.

This is how i want it to be:

I have a table which contains user-data. In this i have a collum called "Startup tab" where the user can predefine which startup page he wants from the tab control. Short explained i want the code to do this job: Me.preffered_ta b.setfocus on startup, and that the preffered tab should be looked up from a table

For this i use

DLookup("[Startup tab]", "main tbl brukere", "username='" & ntlogin & "'")

Then, on the form_load event i tried to place this code

Dim ntlogin As String
Dim su As ???
 
Init_Globals
 
ntlogin = Environ("Username")
 
su = DLookup("[Startup fane]", "main tbl brukere", "Brukernavn='" & ntlogin & "'")
 
[Form_MAIN Hovedmeny].su.SetFocus

But this gives me the errorcode of "Method or datamember not found".
I am pretty sure i need to Dim SU as something (it is dimmed as text in the table), but i dont know what.

Any suggestions?

You have to set the value of the tab control itself.

Me.TabCtl0.Valu e = 2

or

Forms.Form1.Tab Ctl0.Value = 2

Where 2 is th Tab Index set up in the tab's control properties.

Thank you!

I made a table (Main Tab name) which contains the tab.name and tab.nr and i ended up with this code

Private Sub Form_Load()
 
Init_Globals
ntlogin = Environ("Username")
 
Value_preffered_tab = DLookup("[preffered tab]", "Main tbl  users", "username='" & ntlogin & "'")
tab_nr = DLookup("tabnr", "Main tab name", "Tab name ='" & Value_preffered_tab & "'")
 
Me.tabctl.Value = tab_nr
 
End Sub

1. Typically, su would be Declared as a Variant.
   

   Dim su As Variant

2. When you get a chance, take a look at this Link.
