>In design time I see the pages Tab's switch yet in runtime it goes back to default setting. This is all under the MM framework if there is an issue with that?

I'm guessing its a framework thing, cause its not standard behavior on grids. The way they can be changes back is through the Pages Array, which does not resort to the PageOrder property. The only reason I say that is, you may start hitting problems when you reorder pageframe pages. I usually remove the pages and add them in the order I want them isntead of changing around teh PageOrder's to aviod bugs later on.
