Well I want to show for example 'Tab 2' when I press the button

In C# it would be done by following code:

tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabControl1.TabPages[NumberOfTabControl];

You can send some Key Board Shortcuts via Shell commands Like

Ctrl+Page Up for Next Tab

Ctrl+Page Down for Previous tab

So it is not possible to directly select the required tab (maybe by settings an index or something like that)?

have you tried picking a field that exists on tab2 and using the ACTIVATE function?

The real question is that if you have to click some button anyway - why not click TAB2?

it's the same amount of clicks?

Thanks for the hint using the ACTIVATE-Function of a control placed inside the tabPage.

Works very well.

The button is also setting a filter on the subform and some other things, so it really was necessary.
