Nested Tab Controls

[Rats]

I have placed a tab control within a tab control (which I have done before). The problem is that the sub tab control appears on every page of the main tab form (encountered this before). I fixed it in the past by placing code on the on open event to make the sub tab control not visible unless the appropriate tab is selected. That worked fine.

I have tried this in the new program and find that when I set the value of the main tab form to 4 (the page index of the tab) the sub tab form will not display at all. However if I set it to zero it will display regardless of which tab is selected. Confusion has now set in . Any thoughts out there on what I have done incorrectly.

[/CODE]Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

'Me.OrderBy = "RankNo desc"
'Me.OrderByOn = True
If TabCtl44.Value = 4 Then
TabCtl144.Visible = True
Else
TabCtl144.Visible = False
End If
End Sub

I'm not sure what your problem is but another solution might be a SubForm with a tab control. Just another way to display a tab control on a tab control.

Great Minds think alike RG. I rethunked the approach and used a subform with the tabbed form enclosed. It worked fine. Still can't fathom why the other system wouldn't work when I have done it before. I think the subforms a cleaner approach anyway. Thanks for the help.

Glad you got it working. Thanks for posting back.

Thanks for that Pat. All OK with this one now it works fine.
