Hyperlinking to tabs works inconsistently

[Leo]

Hi Alex,
I have a DFFS form with multiple tabs on it and a Sharepoint workflow that when triggered, will email users asking them to click on a hyperlink and update some information. The hyperlink construction is “[%Workflow Context:Current Site URL%]/Lists/RRANEW/EditForm.aspx?ID=[%Current Item:ID%]&sTab=5”.

It seems as though sometimes this works and other times it doesn’t. When it doesn’t, it always goes to the correct record, however, it lands on tab 0. I’ve tried using ‘tabindex’ instead of ‘sTab’ but same result.

thank you…

Hi,
Using &sTab=5 is correct, but it might be interference from a rule (if you have rules that sets selected tab) or maybe the settings “Use cookie to remember selected tab” in the Misc tab.
