Printing tabs on a tab control

I have a form with a tab control that has 11 tabs. This form is to be
used for inventory related purposes and sometimes only one inventory is
completed on a location, but sometimes 10 inventories will be required
to complete the tasks required. The 11th tab compiles the data from
records where there is information pertaining to more than one inventory.
In creating this form, I have "Enabled" and made "Visible" only the tabs
required for each form (based on an input field that holds a number from
1 to 10 and the only tabs that I want printed are the ones that are
"Enabled" and "Visible".
Is it possible to limit the printing of the tabs?
Thanks in advance for your reply(s).

Forms (especially ones with tabs) are not designed for printing. Forms are
for viewing, editing, and adding data. Reports are for printing. Build a
report and add a button to your form to print that report. Include a
"where" clause so it will only print the record tha tis currently displayed
on your form when you click the button.

Forms are terrible at printing and as far as I know only the tab page that is
"on top" will even print when you print a form. It's always better to design a
report for printing.
