You may start trying simple toggling Pageframe.Visible from .T. to .F. and back to .T. Sometimes, it helps. If not, there is known example of imitating pageframe caption by combining tabless pageframe (.Tabs=.F.) and commandbuttons around. Each button will simulate page caption. The only code needed is to reset Pageframe.ActivePage property from appropriate button.click event. The only trick is to overlap the border between 'active' button and pageframe by line with Forecolor=page.backcolor. This way is usually used to simulate pageframe with vertical tabs, but it might be relevant in your particualar situation.
