OnClick not doing a thing!!!

[agehoops]

I'm using a tab box on a form, and want to use the OnClick event of the tab buttons along the top. I have the option of the OnClick event, but no matter what the code is behind, it won't run!!! Why not? It's really annoying me

Thanks

seems it is, but only the area under the actual tab button which just makes it useless!!! How can I got about making it the button itself?

Can you post your code? Are there multiple tabs? How about pasting a picture of the form?

The code is literally something like

txtMonth = 1

That's it. It does work, but only when i click the area just under the tab button which is really stupid

Frustrating isn't it? Use the Change event of the Tab control instead. As you discovered, the Click event is all but useless.

That works, but how do I then determine which of the buttons has just been selected? Seeing as there are 12 tabs?

You could use this for the index value:

Select Case Me.YourTabControlName.Value

or you can use the name of the tab

Select Case Me.YourTabControlName.Pages(Me.YourTabControlName.Value).Name
