Hey there!

I've been working with the built in tab functions that Microsoft has. Well, since they are not pretty I have also included other side tabs with basically the same functions, but prettier. Well, everything is working fine with my set of tabs, but the problem comes from the fact when I click on the Standard Tab buttons, it doesn't change my side tabs. Is there a way where I can hide the Standard tabs, or at least make it so I can change the pictures and layout of my other side tabs. I have tried the following:

With the on click for the Standard Tab I tried to call the side tab function on_click function. That didn't work for some reason.

I then tried putting a transparent command button with the same function, but I don't think the computer recognized it. So that didn't work.

Any idea's? Thanks for your help!

I think (believe) you should be using the OnChange event of the (MS-supplied) Tab Control . It is THIS event that Access uses to "move" between the 'Tab Pages' it has. .....

Thanks, it's all working now. Sorry it took so long to reply.
