Microsoft Access - page of tabcontrol visible if subform has records

Thank you for reading!  I am looking for help on hiding a tab page if there is no data in it's subform

I use this VBA code in main form on current to hide subforms with no records.
this particular main form has 4 subforms so I am using a tabcontrol to place the forms in. The 1st main form (not shown in code) always has records..the other 3 may or may not
the first one and the last one have table record sources
the middle one is a query

the VBA doesn't work on the main form that has the tab control?
no errors
Private Sub Form_Current()
With Me![sfViewSlmnNotes].Form
.Visible = (.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > 0)
With Me![RQTHISTORYsf].Form
.Visible = (.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > 0)
With Me![frmsfTedsLine2].Form
.Visible = (.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > 0)

End With
End With
End With

So what I like about the result of the subforms being hidden is that the user doesn't have to wonder about that information....what I don't like is how it is arranged on the mainform...that's why I am moving toward the tabcontrol.

I want the entire page hidden if there is no subform records - which means that Access will have to show page 0 (always show page 0) then page 2 on one instance; page 0 then page 1 on another; page 0 then page 1 and 3 on another; page 0 then nothing on another. I added the page 0 as well but that didn't change the result. All subfoms are visible.
I also tried this code in the mainform current event -
Me.Tabctl75.PageIndex(1).Visible = Me.[sfViewSlmnNotes].Form.Recordset.Recordcount >0)
Me.Tabctl75.PageIndex(2).Visible = Me.[RQTHISTORYsf].Form.Recordset.Recordcount >0)
Me.Tabctl75.PageIndex(3).Visible = Me.[frmsfTedLine2].Form.Recordset.Recordcount >0)
and with this I tested different examples - none hidden at all

First, I'm not sure tab control is what I should be using. Isn't the logic behind the tab control to stack info so that it's all visible? And that's why I would use it?  Not all of mine have info 
If it's possible to do - can I put the subforms 0"W 0" on top of each other?  and the ones with data they'll display one after the other neatly - not sure how to manage subform positioning that way

Second, I noticed some variation in the subforms when I clicked through them in design view that makes me think they didn't load on the page correctly. For example, the names aren't consistent.....my page 1 had the subform name as the name, but my pages 2 & 3 were assigned something by access. I was so confused I changed them to all read the same....but maybe I should try to relink the subforms on the pages? Is there a correct and incorrect way to load these that would cause the code to fail?
