trying to reference tab on subform

[BennyLinton]

I have a field I need to reference from my subform's tab's control to my main form like:

If MainForm.... Tab... Control = 2 Then
Mainform.Label1.Visible = True

Here are the names of the forms/controls in their hierarchy:

frmMain
frmSubFormCosts
tabFurniture
txtValue

what would be a syntax that would work? Thanks! Benny

FYI, all controls on tab controls have unique names and you reference them as if the tab control was not even there.

on the frmMain form you can check if TabControl->Page 2 is selected:

Private Sub Form_Current()
' Label1 refers the Label control to hide
' in the frmMain
Me.Label1.Visible = (Me.TabControl0.Value <> 2)

End Sub


Now on the Change Event of your TabControl:


Private Sub TabControl0_Change()
Call Form_Current
End Sub
