The problem is that there is a lot of code affected and I did not write any of it, and a lot is embedded in framework classes. None of it is documetned/

It looks like this is such a mess to work around, that I've spent the last two hours writing a hack that updates the .SCX form files, and will split the pageframe into two groups and insert a new page in the middle. It changes the parent of the right half of the controls to move them to the next page over, chances the caption on each page to the next one over, then patches the properties of the page frame, and scans all the methods for references to the moved pages, and updates them by one.

Afterwhich I just MODI FORM the changed form, and change any one value, to forcee VFP to do cleanup and rebuild some internal settings.

Works fine so far.

I'm just surprised this is not a routine problem that people run into when redesigning forms.
