go to another section of form using command button
I have a form that has many tabs. When a user finishes
updating the information on one tab I want to add command button that will advance them to the next tab. The tabs are forms that I have created and then pasted on the tabs so I don't know if I should open the form - even though it is already open as part of the sub form. I will need to do this of the tabs. Any ideas?? Maggie

Maggie,
No, it is not correct to try to "open" the subforms. Instead, put code on the Click event of the command buttons, along these lines...

Hi Maggie,
I just done the same sort of thing, so hopefully this will help. I am assuming your tab form is called 'tabform', and you have 'form1', 'form2', etc on your tabs. If you want your focus to go from [lastfield] on 'form1' to [firstfield] on 'form2', then use the AfterUpdate event of [lastfield] to move it... insert this line of code in the After Update event of [lastfield]... Forms![tabform]![form2].SetFocus hope that helps DubboPete "Maggie" wrote in message ... I have a form that has many tabs.
