Steve,

In your baseclass pageframe, optiongroup and commandgroup set the number of child objects to 0. This will allow you to freely subclass them, and allow you to set the number of child objects when you drop one of them onto a form.

The others answered how you can delete them at runtime, but there is some potential for the object to break if your other code refers to the child object that you removed.

>I have a form with a pageframe on it that I am using as a base class for all of my data entry forms. the pageframe has 3 pages on it. My problem now is that not all of my forms need all 3 pages and I can't figure out how to get rid of the pages. Anyone have any suggestions on how I delete or make them invisible at design or run time?!
