>>Secondly, instead of setting ActivePage, try .T48_page_frame1.Page4.activate().

>This didn't work for me a couple of weeks ago, when I really needed it. I'm not surprised it didn't work for the pages of a pageframe which was within a currently invisible page of the current pageframe, but it didn't work for the pages of the parent pageframe, either. The only way I got it to work was
>
oPageRef.parent.activepage=oPageRef.pageorder
>and then it worked even for pages in pageframes in pages of pageframes - it all started showing up properly. For a while I thought it might not work if I reordered pages, but I think Hacker's guide mentioned that ActivePage property actually tracks pages by PageOrder, not by order of instantiation.

The only problem here, what you should know this n, for me it sometimes simpler to use column (page) names instead of number. Besides, I usually give a meangful name to grid columns/pages, so I can easily recognize them, if needed.

But this is just a personal preference :)
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
