>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.

Thinking about this a little more... you aren't reffering to "formsets" are you? It seems there isn't as much use for formsets anymore, but pageframes work just fine.
