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
