Can anyone tell me how I can move from one page to the next in a Tab Control?  
I’ve got a “Next” and “Previous” button on the form and I’m trying to use them to move to the next or previous tabs. Unfortunately, I’ve tried everythign I can think of, and none of the help files/books/MS website information is useful.  
I’m sure it’s pretty simple, but does anyone have the answer I’m looking for?

Thanks…

Set the .Value property of the Tab control. Remember that it starts numbering at 0, so to reach the 2nd tab use:

myTabCtl.Value=1
