You could just create a global variable (ie. declare it in a .bas module as somthing like OPENTAB) and then just set it as required. On form load then just :<br />
<br />
Private Sub Form_Load() <br />
&nbsp; ssTab.Tab = OPENTAB &nbsp;'which would be set on cmd_click to 1<br />
&nbsp; OPENTAB = 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;'reset to default <br />
End Sub <br />
<br />

hi,<br />
Here is my problem:<br />
in form1 <br />
Private Sub form_load(0 <br />
     sstab.tab = 0 <br />
end sub <br />
<br />
in form2 <br />
Private Sub cmd1_click() <br />
     load form1 <br />
end sub <br />
<br />
Now when I click cmd1, it will load form1, but with tab 0. where should I code to open the form with tab1 without changing the line sstab.tab = 0? <br />
<br />
sstab.tab = 0 in form_load can't be changed because in most cases, the form will be opened with tab 0. And in some other cases, It need to be opened with tab 1. That is my real question.. <br />
<br />
thank you<br />
<br />

open up the form with correct tab

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
