I have a form that has a tab control on it. On one of the tab caption I
would like to indicate how many items are listed. An example for the tab
page caption is; Children (10). The Children I can type in but how would I
get the (10) to show on the tab page caption depending on the record that was
selected on the main form?
Thanks.

Hello again. I might have a way of getting the info. I placed a txtbox on
the footer of the subform that is on the tab page counting the records in the
subform. I then placed a txtbox on the main form that will reference the
subform txtbox. I can then place in the On_Current event a reference to the
main form's txtbox with the number in it.
What I have problem with now is the mainform txtbox showing the subform
txtbox count. How do I reference it as an expression?
Thanks. .. John

Try something like this in the form's Current event:

Me.TabCtl0.Pages(1).Caption = "Children (" & Me.Text3 & ")"

where text3 is the text box bound to the number of choldren
field.
 
You should be able to set the tab control page caption programmatically like
this:

Me.tabcontrolname.Pages("pagename").Caption = "Children (10)"
