Open a form and select the tab page

How can I make a hyperlink open another form and select the specified tab
page on that form.

I have declared the form I want to open as "Details" so:

Details.Show()

Opens the form. And to select the tab page I can use:

MainTabControl.SelectedTab = SearchTabPage

However I cannot combine these two commands into one click action.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

What's the problem?

\\\
Dim d As New DetailsForm()
d.MainTabControl.SelectedIndex = 2
d.Show()

Thank you ever so much, simple mistake, I had the two commands in the wrong
order and it would not work. I am still in the early stages of learning
VB.Net and sadly my deadline is fast approaching. Would it be possible to
email you a zipped copy of my application to clear up a few bugs for me, this
would be greatly appreciated. I am happy to offer you a reasonable agreed for
for this service.
