If you can permit that the to be hidden pages are lost for the rest of the form session, then first manipulate the pageorder of the pages and then set pagecount to the number of remaining pages.
Suppose you have five pages:
1 thisform.pgf.pagAddress
2 thisform.pgf.pagRelation
3 thisform.pgf.pagNewAddress
4 thisform.pgf.pagEditAddress
5 thisform.pgf.pagOutdateAddress
The numbers here are their initial PageOrder properties.
In case you want to get rid of pagNewAddress, you should do the following:
thisform.pgf.pagEditAddress.PageOrder = 3
thisform.pgf.pagOutdateAddress.PageOrder = 4
thisform.pgf.PageCount = 4
The pagNewAddress page will get lost. Note that this also is true for all objects on it, so updates of those no longer existing objects will generate an error.
I use this as a means to limit functionality. The expert gets all, the simpler user gets only a subset. Or the user who's willing to pay versus the one who prefers the freeware copy. :)
