>>Hi everybody,

Once I get to a point where I've got enough pages that the tabs won't fit across the screen in a single row, I usually switch the screen style to one where I've got a control like a listbox or treeview to select the particular page not have visible tabs.
* by adding pages "on-the-fly" (the pages are defined in a classlib) at runtime could reduce time to bring instance of form.
* for coding I find navigating to a class in a classlib easier than digging through a long list of pages in a pageframe -- it also is easier to isolate the code for each of the pages.
* avoids having the potentially "tab shuffle" that occurs when you've got more than one row of tabs
* number of pages can be variable at runtime
* using treeview for page list allows you to organize pages in a hierarchy without resorting to having nested pageframes
