Tab form on click event

Hi EE

How do I get the on click event to work on a TAB Form. As a test I entered msgbox("Something"). but when I click the tab I don't get the message. Looking at some E.E questions & answers, "On Change event" is mentioned but I can't find. I am working on access 2003 at the moment. Any help most appreciated

Hi try this where TabCtl0 your tabcontrol name

Private Sub TabCtl0_Change()
If Me.TabCtl0.Value = 0 Then 'First Page
  'Do code for Page 1
ElseIf Me.TabCtl0.Value = 1 Then 'Second page
  'Do code for Page 2
ElseIf Me.TabCtl0.Value = 2 Then 'Third page
  'Do code for Page 3
End If
End Sub

Open in new window

Or with case

Private Sub TabCtl0_Change()
  Select Case TabCtl0
    Case 0  'First Page
      'Code for Page 1
    Case 1  'Second page
      'Code for Page 2
   Case 2   'Third page
     'Code for Page 3
  End Select
End Sub

Open in new window

Yes I see My tab is called Site and the second tab so it's page 1. Do I place the code in the click event of the tab called Site
