Problem with "OnClick"

[MFS 43]

I have a form with tabs set up with each tab representing a page. However when
I try to do an "OnClick" event on the page, nothing happens.

The program does not "see" the "Click" event, even with something so simple as
opening a Message Box "OnClick".

Thanks for any suggestions on how to get this to work.

Although it would help if you could post the code you are using in an
effort to accomplish this, I think I have a feel for what you are
trying to do. In the exit event of the last control on your form, add
a procedure that will pass the focus to a control on your next page.

Forms!frmSalesContactInfo!txtEquipment.SetFocus

I used this in a data entry form I designed so the user could complete
the record across all the pages in the form without having to leave
the keyboard.

Thanks for the help.

The code is hardly involved. If I try to simply open a Message Box when
the tab is clicked (with an "OnClick" event, nothing happens. I doubt
the code is the problem.

I will try to set the focus on the page as you suggested.

Change the location of your code to the "ON Change" event for the tab control.
That is the event that fires each time you click a different tab.

I'll give it a try. Ialso just discovered that with tabs there is both
a page control and a tab control.
