>>how do i hide a page frame, i heed to be able to view/use the controls on the page frame and switch between pages, using a seperate control to that on the page frame.

Beware, though, that the user can still click on the top border of the pageframe where the tab should be and switch pages, as if the tabs were still there. There was an article in FPA about this, May 2000, if you have the issue. If not, here's the Cliff's Notes version:

Two options:

1. If you don't care about showing a pageframe border, set the BorderWidth property to 0.

2. Else, save a version of the pageframe with Tabs = .F. Use a subclass of this version. It will inherit the Tabs property and the annoying "phantom" tabs problem goes buh-bye.
