That works ok.

I've already gone for the frame solution as it has the bonus of being able to see all the pages at design time. And I can get rid of the borders.

Tried the above solution - made the sstab control wider than the form to hide the side borders but can't find a way of hiding the bottom border. Also, you'd need to change the tabstop property to false to prevent the control itself from being highlighted when tabbing through controls.

Thanks for your suggestion. Nearly does what I want.
