Hi,
Am trying to create a multipage (or multitab) user form and each one of page (tab) has several textboxes in it. After user enters the input in the textboxes, the data goes into an xml file. All I wannna know is, what is the syntax for getting inputs from a textbox on some tab say Tab1. I tried this,

"
Dim Var as Double
Var = TabControl1.Textbox1.text
"
It doesnt work. "TabControl1" is the name of tabcontrol i have inserted and "textbox1" is the name of textbox, the value from which I am trying to read.

Please help !!

'// 1 tabcontrol, 3 textboxes on tabpage 2

       '// TabPages is index based, 0 = tabpage1, 1 = tabpage2, etc.
        MsgBox(TabControl1.TabPages(1).Controls(2).Text) '// will get the first added textbox's text .
        '//changing 2 to 0 will get the last control added to the tabpage.
