>and the same for all three options, but it looks like the first page is bleeding through.

I would suggest that when using the form designer, you dropped the controls onto the wrong page (i've done this) but this problem is only occasional, so that's not it.

I know its difficult to debug intermittant problems, but have you identified where in code the 'bleed through' first appears?

You could also try setting those errant controls visible=.F. in the page's deactivate code and visibe=.T. in activate. (it may not be right, but if it works....)
