Terry/Garrett,

PMFJI, but I use this technique (containers dropped on forms/pages) for a large portion of my work. I have developed two classes that might interest you: a Form class and a PageFrame class, both of which populate and manage their contents *as needed* from keyworded Container classes in a specified classlib. The containers are instantiated ONLY when the page is initially selected, which speeds instantiation time of the form/pageframe; on subsequent selection of the page, the desired container is already in memory and is made visible rather than reloaded from the classlib.

Let me know if you're interested in these classes.
