>I have a six-form page frame. Some forms require that prior pages be completed first. Is there a way to hide inaccessable pages? I don't want to put a method in a form init event to show a messagebox to the user saying other pages must be completed first. Rather I need to hide (or create the impression of hiding) the inaccessable pages.

You could remove the tabs on the pageframe (with the TABS property). Then on each page of the pageframe have a "Next" button then sets the focus to the next page. Example:

The "next" button on page 1 would have...

thisform.pageframe1.page2.setfocus

... and so on.

Is that what you were looking for?
