[AccessD] Reference a textbox on a tab control

You don't need to reference the tab page at all.  It is an optical
illusion that shows or hides controls as the value of the tab control
changes.  You can just reference the control as a member of the form's
controls collection.

Julie,

A tab control has a Pages collection.  Each tab is a Page in that
collection.  So to reference a textbox on the first tab you need
something like this:
	strText = Me!tabMyTabControl.Pages(0).txtMyText
Note: I'm spewing this off the cuff and may not be entirely accurate.  I
don't remember if the Pages collection uses a 0- or 1-based index, and
you may need to reference the Page's Controls collection to get to the
textbox.

Good luck!

Seth
