Tab control with no tabs

[Kiwi-Wombat]

I was setting up a form with TAB control but because of the size of the fields on the tab page, the Tabs move off screen. It really is a full page vertically, with command buttons to the right. All the fields fit on a normal form

Anyway, I found that if I have no tabs I am able to use the space that the tabs no longer take up.

What is the syntax for calling individual pages from a normal command button?

How do I make changes to individual pages in Design View when I cant see the Tabs?

Are there advantages in having command buttons floating as opposed to embedded (am I using the correct terminology)?

I've attached a sample showing how you can use command buttons to select the page on a tab control.
As for making changes to other pages in design view, there may be a better way, but if you set up the pages how you want them while you've still got the tabs showing so you can navigate between the pages, then once you're happy with them you can hide the tabs. You can also get to the controls on another page by selecting a visible control, then using the tab key until the focus moves to the control you want to change.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that
