Solved Tab and command button disabled or enabled?

[lacampeona]

Hello experts,

I have one problem.

I have a form with serveral tabs ( pages).

I want to force user to click Page2. If the user will not click the page 2 then the button1 is disabled. If he will click the page2 then the button1 will be enabled?

It is possible to force user to click specific tab on the form and in the same time command button goes enabled or disabled?

How can I make that? can someone show me some example?

thank you

you can't force a user to do anything, all you can do is stop them doing things until certain conditions are met. So you might disable all controls except the page2 tab (and its parent tab control) when the form is opened

in form open event (or perhaps current event if users can navigate to different records ) put code to disable the button e.g.

button1.enabled=false

in the page2 click event put

button1.enabled=true

Could you put the button on Page 2?

If the button is actually on page2, it should not be visible on any other page so since it is supposed to be active only if they are on page2, just leave it as always active.

If the button is visible on other pages, then it is not actually on page2.
