>>When I am TABing through the controls on a page of a PageFrame, eventually the focus goes back to the page tab at the top. I understand that this allows the user to move to other page tabs from there with the arrow keys. In my case, I have created other hot-keys to move from page to page, and I don't want the page tab to get focus.

I've got that one covered (actually its in the pages activate event) and that solved most of my problem. My page is a search form and has only 3 or 4 TextBoxes and a grid. The grid changes tab order and repositions the highlighted row based on entry from the TextBoxes. My users work in a keyboard environment (no mouse) and if doing several lookups, will move from TextBox to TextBox using the TAB key and cycling around (finding Shift-TAB is too much of a bother). When the focus gets to the page tab, to them it seems to have dissappeared and requires hitting TAB one more time. This is the behavior that I want to get rid of.
