>>This is an "issue" that we have had with the DateTimePicker ActiveX control. What we have done to get around it, is to move the control so that it isn't visible anymore when the page it's on isn't active.

>>>My example: I have a pageframe on a form with a control on page 2. Action on page 2 will activate a method that will refresh the control and activate page 1. In doing this, the control will sometimes "bleed" through (be visible) on page 1. I can then select page 2 and back to page 1 and all is okay.

>>>Question: What am I missing to allow the programmatic selection of page 1 and only have those controls on page 1 be visible.
