Referencing Controls with Access 97

Hi,

I have a form with a tab control with 9 tabs. I have worked out how to make a table visible in response to entry made on a combo box on my form. This is achieved via a function which is called as the form is opened and also when data entry is made via the combo box. I'm now trying to tidy up the code so that I reference each tab control using a variable.

This code works:

With Me(NewClaimTab)
.Visible = True
End With

However this code doesn't:

Dim strTabName as String

strTabName = "NewClaimTab"
With Me(strTabName)
Visible = True
End With

I get the message The expression Before Update you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Method or data member not found.

Am I missing something simple here or is this simply not possible within Access 97?

I had a column in a table with the name TabName - the same as my variable. Lesson learned!
