a2k - clash of beforeUpdate event and changing tabs on a subform

My beforeupdate event on the main form fires when a change has been made and
the record has not been saved (2 variables are used to track this).

Works great but if they make a change in my subform which is in one tab of a
tab control, and then they select a different tab, the beforeupdate event
fires.

So they get prompted as to whether they want to save the record - however
the idea is that the event only fires if they try to close the form or
change records.

How can I stop the event firing when they change tabs? BeforeUpdate seems
to happen before the tab change event for example.

thanks
Martin
