Bhavbhuti,

I'd say then that those controls don't belong on either page 2 or page 3, they belong at a higher containership level of the form.

Duplicating objects just doubles your maintenance effort.

>Yes this is a subclass that I have to enhance. There are already 2 pages (in the pageframe of the form) on the parent class, now I have to add a 3rd page on it. This 3rd page should have some common textboxes and labels on it that are already on page2. I could recreate them but that is unnecessary work for such routine work (neither do these control justify classes of their own) These controls are there only to keep the user in perspective on what current record they are on.
