How do I automate the moving between tabs in a form?

B

Benjamin

I'd like to make a form tab index, button 1, 2, 3,
which will then take me to tab 1, 2,3 in a multipage box

How do I call up the form tab?
and no "alt-tab" or "tab" answer will do.. vba please.

The easiest thing would be Insert > Hyperlink > Place in this document...then
type in the cell reference...probably A1.

If you really want a macro to do this...
Link your button to this macro:
Sub BuildTOC_A3()
Cells(3, 1).Select
BuildTOC
End Sub

That will call this...
Sub BuildTOC()
'listed from active cell down 7-cols -- DMcRitchie 1999-08-14 2000-09-05
