How to toggle between tabs in Access

How can I toggle between open tabs in Access?  For example, if I have a table and 2 queries open, rather than using mouse to select the tab, I would like to use keyboard keys to toggle between the open tabs.  Like Alt-tab toggles between open programs, I would like to toggle between the open tabs.  I looked up this question using Google, and one answer said to use Ctrl-tab, but that did not work for me.

Thanks!

    Ctrl+Tab is for tab controls on a form.

    Use Ctrl+F6 to switch to the next tab and Shift+Ctrl+F6 to switch to the previous tab.

    Ctrl+F6 will switch between all open tabs (or windows) in the database, regardless of type. I don't think there is a keyboard shortcut for switching between open tables only.
