tab control

[Nat]

Is it possible in access (i'm using 2003) to create a tab control that
changes the names of the tabs and everything inside of the tabs changes as
well whenever someone choose a certain choice in the list box. (I've started
to make different forms for each part)
Such as someone wants to view information about a server, so only the
information about the server is in each tab, such as server info, nic info
etc..
Is it possible?

You could have multiple tab controls stacked on top of each other, or
if you really want to use only one tab control, put the content in
subform controls and swap them out using the SourceObject property.

You can do it but it is not a trivial exercise. A good starting point
is read about the Tab control in one of the latest editions published
by Sybex of "The Access [YourVersion up to 2002] Developer's
Handbook" by Ken Getz et alia. There is a sample MDB that shows off
what they did. First learn all that's given in the book. Then you
have to strike out on a new path wherein you create and maintain
tables for the Tab displays and other miscellanea. Then there must be
some well ordered VBA that loads the proper Tab content and places the
proper text into the textbox on each Tab Page.

Once you've developed it you'll have something very useful in your
tool kit that you can use on future projects.
