Use tab on tabbed form for record navigation ??

[Ryan]

I have a tabbed form which currently has navigation and
close buttons on the bottom of every tab. Because of the
data on the various tabs these buttons cannot be in the
same place. Tabbing from tab to tab therefore is kind of
disturbing to me as these buttons jump around.

I was wondering if I could create extra tabs to do the
navigation. E.g. I'd have a tab showing a back arrow that
when clicked would move to the previous record in the
recordset and return to the tab that was originally
positioned on preferably with the focus etc all set to
where they were previously.
Could this be made to work? Or is there any other way on a
tabbed form to have an area which does not change when the
tabs are pressed?
Or should I force my users to go to one particular tab to
do the record navigatiuon and closing.

Ryan,

Have you considered putting the common nav buttons in the
Form's Header where they will always be visible no matter
what tab you are on?
