Let's say you have a master tab structure comprising Tabs: A, B and C and within the Tab A, a subtab structure comprising Tabs; D, E and F. Now, the operations:

User clicks A.
User clicks sub-tab E.
User clicks B.
User clicks A.

Now on A sub-tab D should be showing, not E.

---- Here's how ------

1. Install EventScript plugin

2. Create an unstored calculation = "" & EventScript (Get(filename) ; "GoToTabD" ; "")

3. Create a GoToTabD script = Go To Layout Object ("Tab D")

4. Using Object Info in Layout mode, double-click Tab D so that it's selected and name it Tab D.

5. Place the unstored calc field (make it small square) on top of Tab A. Nothing will show.

When you click on tab A, the unstored calc field comes to surface, activating the calc, launching the script, taking you to Tab D.
