Help in populating data in tab pages

[rsfnoam]

hello there
I am new user in this forum.. looks like a good place to ask question.
here's my problem.
I have a tab control : Ctl01
3 pages in this control tab
When I press the button "go to next record" it does not show the contents of the new record on the tab pages.I 've looked everywhere . My head does not understand why this happens
I've tried me.page1.requery and others
Can some please help.
does someone have an example for this so I can learn from this
Thanx alot in advance

Are you seeing any records at all on the tab pages?

Is the underlying source showing any records?

Is the "go to next record" working correctly?

Are there any more records to show?

Maybe you could post your database if you are still having trouble.

Hi chris
Thanx for the reply
Yes I see records on the main form that are changing and changing perfect
but the data in the tab pages is not changing
The database is in hebrew you'll get giberish.. but i'll try to do that
thanx alot

Are the fields in the tab definitely bound to the record source?

everyone of them

I'm not sure then. If you can post your database I can take a look.

I'ii try to do that..
oh by the way all of the data in one page is acually bound ddlb(drop down list box)fields . I found out that none of them have a code that updates the data to the table in the "after update" event.. do you think this might be the darn problem?
thanx alot

Sounds like the tabbed pages are not linked to the main (parent) form. Is your main form bound to a RecordSource? Are you using an unbound combo box on your main form to look up records? When you go to Design View what does it say in Link Master Feild/Link Child Field (located in the Properties window of the subform)?

Hi gina
Sorry for not replying(internet problem)
well I'm using all of the combo's on the the tab pages..I've got about 12-13 on each page..
U C ..this form is a data entry for test results of a patient (on the main page i have main fields of the patient) and on each tab i have the specific tests..each one of the results fields is actually a combo(DDLB) of which the user can choose the right answer for the test.
now..I guess i solved somehow that funny problem on the AFTER UPDATE event of each test.i entered a code like this:
Me!quest2res5 = Me!questlists5.Value
Me.Page2.Requery
and that helped me to see the right results that the user has chosen.
if you have another idea I'd like very much to read about
Thanx alot

I don't have a better idea as I can't see your database. So, if that is working for you then go with!

Do the tab controls contain subforms or just controls directly within them?

.requery for subforms makes sense but I don't see why it would be needed if the tab just contrains normal controls.
