How to go to Tab #5 on a form

[Guest]

I have a form that has 5 tabs with data from tables and subforms. I am
trying to create a button that executes a macro to go to tab #5. I have used
the macro command GoToPage and put 5 into the page number field in the macro
design screen.

when I run the macro, I get an error that says page #5 doesn't exist on this
form.

I have 6 tabs and have confirmed that my tab 5 indeed is called page 5 in
the tab preferences.

Are tabs not considered pages or what am I missing?

Each page has a number in the PageIndex Property, check the number in page 5
and write in the button

me.TabControlName = TheNumber

the first tab is tab 0

No that is not what Pages is referring to. Just set focus to a control that
is on page 5 of your TabControl.

Use the GoToControl action, anmd specify the name of the tab.
DoCmd.GoToControl "The TabNAME"
