When the MultiRow property is set to False and the width of the tabs exceeds the width of the control, navigation buttons appear on the right side of the tab control. You can use the navigation buttons to scroll through all the tabs on the tab control.

Example

To return the value of the MultiRow property for a tab control named "Details" on the "Order Entry" form, you can use the following:

Dim b As Boolean 
b = Forms("Order Entry").Controls("Details").MultiRow

To set the value of the MultiRow property, you can use the following:

Forms("Order Entry").Controls("Details").MultiRow = True
