Trap On Dirty event on Tabbed Control

The Form On Dirty applies here ...

mx

As DatabaseMX has stated the forms On Dirty Event applies when you move from page to page in the tab control as it states in the Access help file "The Dirty event occurs when the contents of a form or the text portion of a combo box changes. It also occurs when you move from one page to another page in a tab control."

Not sure what you are doing in the OnDirty but if you are wanting to save as you go through the tabs then you can use the OnChange Event of the Tab Control and check the Dirty Property.

Cheers, Andrew

Private Sub TabCtl28_Change()
    If Me.Dirty Then
       Me.Dirty = False
    End If
End Sub

Sorry for the long absence....but as far as I can determine, there is is no On Change or On Dirty event for each individual page and the On Change (no On Dirty) event for the tab control only triggers when you change tabs - not change a field on a individual tab or page.  I have seen where coders haved trapped events in there coding even though there is no such event in the properties list.  Is that a correct assumption?

Thanks DatabaseMX;  The proplem was really a problem with how I was trapping dirty events on the main form.  Once I fixed that issue, On Dirty applies to changes to the tab control as well.  Thanks for your assist!
