I haven't seen that yet but I usually try to keep the number of pages on a single pageframe as low as possible mainly to not confuse the user. I usually try to break subjects down into larger groups and subdivide the controls on each additional page into another pageframe if necessary. I have one that sets international, domestic and local phone rates bases on continent, country, region, province etc. One form supports about 20 tables with hundreds of fields but I never have more than 5 or 6 pages in one frame. You might give that a try.
>Hi,

>Doing some experiments, it turned out that the number of controls on the active page as well as the number of pages (i.e. total number of controls I guess) affected the speed.
>I can understand that having a lot of controls on the active page makes it slower, but I don't understand why having more pages in the page frame makes user interaction so much slower. Don't the inactive pages get excluded from the event processing?
>Does anyone know of a method for making the page frame faster? Maybe one could embed the controls in a container within a page and explicitely show/hide this container when the page get (in-)activated!?
