Setting selected item in TabControl

   Is there any way to set the active tab in a TabControl?

For my application to be 508 compliant I need a way to change tabs through a menu so that everything can be done via the keyboard.

This is also important because tabs in my application are used for changing views of data; this means I perform validation when tabs are switched and if there is an error I need to be able to force the user to stay on the current tab.

	How about: TabControl.Item(i).Selected = True where "i" is the index of the tab you want to set as active.
