How come the label of the tab does not register the on
click event?

For example, when the user clicks a tab, I want it to
switch pages, but I also want to change the record source
of a subform. However, the on click event is not activated
when clicking the tab label.

/Hello \/Good Bye \_________________________

For example, when the user clicks "Hello", I want it to
register an event, so I figured it would be the on click
event. However, this does not seem to be the case.

Is there any way I can make it so that when the user
clicks "Hello", it can register a Macro or VB Code?
 
In design mode, click the background of the tab control to the right of the
Good Bye tab. You will now have a Change event available for the tab
control. This event will fire when you move from one page to the next.

Thank you for the help. However, I need it to be a little
more specific than that. If the On Change event is
activated, how do I find out which tab was click?

This is a fictional example:
I am currently in the "Hello" tab, and a text box
says "Hello, Mike". Now, I click on the Good Bye tab, so
it can display "Good Bye, Mike". The On Change event is
activated, but how do I know whether or not the user
clicked on the "Good Bye" or "Good Morning" tab? I want
the text box to display "Good Bye, Mike" or "Good Morning,
Mike" depending on which tab is selected.
Is there a property for the tab control, such as
TabControl.CurrentPage or something?

Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Click to expand...

The Value property of the TabControl will correspond to the index of the
selected page.
