>I have a formset with a total of 6 child forms. When I run the formset all of the members of my formset are instantiated. (and I can see them in the taskbar.) My goal is to have only the current form be visible. Still being able to move through the tab order and advance to the next form in the process. Also having the ability to reference the value of any given control on any given form in the formset for appending to a table or searching. Seems like I'm asking for alot. But it just doesn't seem like it would be that difficult.

The second part is easy. All controls are objects in the formset, so can be accessed as

myformset.form.control.pem

The first part, IMO, is a bad interface. Are you sure you can't use one form with a pageframe instead?
