>>>>>>>>>Is there a way to set the Activepage property WHEN certain page in a pageframe looses focus? There isn't a LostFocus event for a page in a pageframe so how? I have a 2 page pageframe and when one of the page looses focus I would like to set the Activepage to the other page without manually clicking something (e.g. pageframe tab, command button, etc.).

Ken.
I've already though about similar idea (actually, I had no other idea but this) of including code in GotFocus event of all other objects not in the the pageframe to set the activepage but decided against this. It might do the job but all the code spread across all those objects is not, IMHO, a good technique for many reasons.
For some reason, this is turning out to be a bigger headache than it should be. Still searching for easier way...
