Hi Tracy,

You might try using the Pages collection of the PageFrame (rather than the Objects collection) inside your DO WHILE loop.

However, as an alternative...
have you considered storing the contents of each desired page in a Container, load the container objects into an array/collection and drop/arrange them onto the necessary pages whenever/however you want?

(I actually have a PageFrame class somewhere that does this -- let me know if it'll help you and I'll dig it up)
