>>hi all
>>I have a wierd one, this was working a while ago but is no longer and i have not changed any of the code. on a screen i have a button at the bottom "add" that is not in the pageframe. In the pageframe i have 7 tabs, with tab1 being active when the screen is first loaded. when a user clicks on the "add" button the code says thisform.pgf1.page2.active but this code does nothing, i put in a few wait windows and the code is passed through and run but this no longer activates the second tab. am i missing somthing?
