I really like his teaching style. He teaches at a good pace and explains everything he is doing.

Great video Kirt! The focus while placing controls on tabs can be very confusing... you pointed that out (and the proper way) nicely. Just two quick tips... I always had a hard time grabbing the tab control by clicking the thin border. A better way is to click in the tab area to the right of your last tab. On your two-tab form, you would click in the blank space where a third tab would be. The second tip is for the Style None. This is useful for an area of a form that you want to change the view programmatically... when you don't need the user to select the view but you are presenting them a specific page based on selections they (or the code) have made. This is done by setting the Tab Controls .Value property to the correct page (numbering starts at 0). This is great for presenting different text boxes for data entry depending on what the user is entering. Hope those help and thanks again for the great videos! Oh, and a quick third tip! Instead of deleting and recreating your controls to move them to the tab, you can Cut them, then select the tab, and Paste them back. Much faster :)

Thank you for this clear explanation. My guess for the use for 'not showing the tabs' could be if users with limited userrights don't even see the tabs they are supposed to enter?

Thanks for sharing this video. Is there any way to switch to next page after tab or enter on last record of current page?

You can select None so that the tab buttons disappear. You can create your own side menu with Command Buttons, and by using VBA, the desired page can be opened by clicking the button you have created. This will give a professional look to the form.

When you have a tabbed form and you want to export it into a pdf..how do you do that so it includes both tabs?
