Hi Thomas:

Sorry, i have misinterpreted this:

yup, that is the approach I was thinking about:
if it works with a mouse, hop like a mouse <g>.

This I supposed it.

Yes, but this have 2 problems:
- if Pageframe is a baseclass
- if pages are reodered.

The problem is always the same one:
- in VFP there are various ways of get, apparently, the same result,
but inner VFP uses various code, generating many side effects.
The documentation is superficial and don't help.

Little example:
show a Form

Visible = .T.
Show
SHOW WINDOW
ACTIVATE WINDOW
...
