It lloks like common OCX problem. I had it when I start to use images (all images from different pages bubbled together!!!). I tried to reconciliate pageframe and OCX but eventually gave up. Surely, any time modal form get open/closed we can go through OCXs and 'save/make invisible/restore them' but it's too much spagetti coding.
