Hi Evan,
Thanks for the suggestion. I think I have decided to simply disable the tab.

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.
