Re: Defaulting to a control

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi Mark

I tried the following code in the OnLostFocus of the 'Personal Information'
Form

[Caller Detail].SetFocus ('Caller Details' being the name of the FIRST
TabControlPage.

When I then go to to create a new record I remain on the TabControlPage
where I last entered data - without defaulting back to the first page [ie
Caller Details].

Is there something I'm missing? [I noticed the MSFA Help said the
gotocontol, gotopage doesn't work on TabControlPages - so I'm hoping we can
crack this]. Thanks for your help.
