Tabs HELP!!!!!

[mike30x]

I have created a form with multiple tabs i know wnat to be able to print reports but how do i go about transferring the infromation to the reports so that the correct tab is shown.

Just build a report.

I have generated a report but the same tab keeps showing (the first tab i created), just so you know i have hidden each tab in the form so it will only show when you select it from a combo box would this affect it.

This is just my opinion but putting a tab control on a report is just a bad idea. I'm sure you could spend time coding for which tab is active on the form, etc., If you want the user to be able to print the data on the current tab then just build a seperate report for those fields.

Thanks for the input Ken

Sorry, didn't mean to be so negative. Hope you get it working however you decide to do it.

Not just a bad idea - one that will NEVER work. Tab controls are for forms only.

You can put a tab control on the version of Access that I'm using Just not sure if you can tell the report which tab to display when it prints...

Never say never -

You can put a tab control ON the report but it is useless. It is not accessible and I stick with the Never part, until such time as the Access team makes a report totally interactive.

Maybe you should put me on the team I got the following code to bring the desired tab page to the top when you print it:

me.myTabName.Pages(x).PageIndex = 0

Where x is the tab page index you want to see...
