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"

* Could be written as
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).
