Tab Control focus problem

S

Scott Doyle

I use the Tab Control on the main form of a database application. There
are six tabs. One is a welcome page, the second the search page, the third
info entered for reports, a fourth for buttons that open custom results, a
fifth that contains a small calculation exercise, and a sixth that has
buttons that open Help files (forms).

All was working great until I tied the main form to a database. Previously
the form was unbound and all fields were unbound. Now, whenever I click a
button to open another form the focus of the tab control on the main form
goes to the last tab (6) automatically. I don't want it to do that.

Any idea how I can keep the tab control on the active tab when the search is
run or when the main form loses focus?

Just something really annoying for me. Fix one thing that creates a new
issue! Par for the course.

One other thing someone might know how to do. Can I have the text on the
active tab change colors? It would be nice to have the active tab text
change to say blue or have the inactive tab's text to dim. Just a little
tweak.

Thanks,

Scott
