>Hi,

>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?

We have pageframes with many busy pages that are all fast - you're sure you're not refreshing more than the current page? What kinds of code are running, also? What version of vfp? I've had some slowness in vfp6 pages that didn't occur in vfp5. And, for some of the busiest pages, we have no controls at all on the pages. A (sometimes modal) form is launched/shown from the page Activate instead...that helps to cut down on total pageframe controls...And the Coverage Log might help to locate slow spots. A few ideas, anyway...
