Where to Hide Page in Tab Control

[Steve Haack]

I have a Form, which has a tab control on it. When I open the Form, I want to
hide a page in the tab control, based on some other conditions.

During the Form Load event, I check for the condition and then try to hide
the specific page. I get an error that the tab control object is closed or
doesn't exist.

What event would be the appropriate place to put this check and hide the page?

Thanks,
Steve

That sounds like a reasonable event to use, if you don't want to do it on a
record-by-record basis. I don't see why you would get the error you report,
so let's have a look at the code you're using.

I have some code that calls a function to check if the condition that I need
is True, and that part works fine. Then I have this:

Me.tabctlPlayersDetails.Pages("Contact Info").Visible = False

I have some code that checks the condition I need and if true, I have this:

Me.tabctlPlayersDetails.Pages("Details").Visible = False

I have some code that checks the condition I need and if true, I have this:

Me.tabctlPlayersDetails.Pages("Details").Visible = False

That syntax appears to be correct, so my guess is that the name of the page
is not "Details". Check the properties of the tab page. Maybe "Details" is
the Caption, but the Name is something else.
