Hi Will,
I'm trying to prevent access to certain pages until the user has logged into a web-site. Page1 has the Log In controls. So if the user clicks on the Page3 tab, I want a messagebox to tell them that they can't get onto that page until they have Logged In, and then put the focus on Page1 where they can Log In.

I tried setting page3.enabled=.F., but then I can't put the messagebox up. Page3.Activate() seems like the most logical place to put it.
