Eric,
Thanks for the help. The only problem now is once I delete the properties associated with the tab I want to remove, I find that whatever tab the "tab" property is set to does not show any controls. The controls must still be there because as I shift the tab property from one tab to another, the controls reappear. As a side note, I have also adjusted the "tabs" and "tabs per row" properties to reflect the correct number of tabs. In addition, I renumbered the tab(index) numbers to reflect the correct sequence of tabs. All is well except for the vanishing controls. Any suggestions? Thanks again!
Paul
