Hi Koos,
As I can see, you already had replies, and you want to learn what "with..endwith" does. Just to expand them a little bit.
thisform.mypageframe1.activepage = 2
thisform.mypageframe1.page2.caption = "This is page 2"
thisform.text2.value = "Anyvalue"
thisform.mypageframe1.page2.text1.value = "Hello"
thisform.mypageframe1.page2.text1.refresh()
thisform.mypageframe1.page3.caption = "This is page 3"
with thisform.mypageframe1
.activepage = 2
with .page2
.caption = "This is page 2"
thisform.text2.value = "Anyvalue"
with .textbox
.value = "Hello"
.refresh()
endwith
endwith
with .page3
.caption = "This is page 3"
endwith
endwith
So it serves for two things :
1) Less typing and easy reading
2) Object and its hierarchy would be searched once to find the target hence speeding up the code (so I prefer with..endwith even it's two lines of calling the same object).
