Bruce, maybe I've missed your purpose but if you want to keep users from tabbing to a new page until all the initial data is entered and validated, you can temporarily disable the other tabs with .PageN.enabled = .f.

When the data is completed, then the tabs can be re-enabled. I have a set of pages where the user can only reach the last 3 pages if the active record meets certain criteria. The enabling code is a method called in the page refresh and in each of 3 field validations.
