I was a bit unclear in my sentence above: I meant an _assign method on .activePage.

>Rule: don't set ActivePage
Problem here is that I distinctly remember reading this as a "preferred way" to switch, so presumably lots of code is already written this way.
If the proposed assign method uses the interface methods on the page planned to activate, everything should work [again] - and since this fix is kept in the pageframe/page "complex" it is not that desperate as calling the interface from keyboard events.

>I try to be far from this, but with VFP often i'm desperate.
I can understand your point of view quite well. OTOH I was recently involved in a large COM/activeX based solution, where the blame was neatly shifted around the different components. Also not a nice situation <g>.
