Hi Randy,

>Using a pageframe on my form and on page 2 using the addobject I added this code there. this.addObject("ghptab","ptlib") and when I run my form and click on that tab it does not show up.

Hi Randy, after the AddObject, you must set your created objects Visible to .T.

>What do I need to do and can I test to see if the object is there first so I don't load it twice.

Yes, do:

if type('this.ghptab') <> 'O' &&Asuming yout in the PageFrame
     This.AddObject('ghptab', 'ptlib')
     This.ghptab.Visible = .t.
endif
