In MDI i have menuitem under FEES under which i have item Balance enq...etc...
The problem is that when i click on this balance enq...a specific tab (related to balance enq/ named balance) should be opened. how to do this ??

i have tried this :

Dim student As New student_adm
        Dim tabpage3 As New TabPage
        student.TabControl1.SelectTab(tabpage3)

however when i click on the balance in the mdi i get following error :

InvalidArgument=Value of '-1' is not valid for 'index'.
