I've always had too many GPF's with any VBX controls, they are not supported across platforms and will they work with a 32 bit Dev 2K. They will not port to the WEB Server either

Forms 5.0 has a tabbed object (at least the beta does) which looks OK but if you cant wait try one of these options

1. Look at the reusable objects thta come with dev 2k they have tabbed VBX - It looks clunky but it can be cleaned up and made to look OK ish.
2. Use images ie bmp or whatever files. Toy need 2 files one for each TAB one for active and one inactive. Theres some standard triggers which i forget when_image etc (Sorry dont have forms on PC and my memory is not what it used to be) Basically when the image is clicked dispaly the correct canvas and change the tab headings to show which one is active. This looks better than option 1.

Both are more work than a VBX but they work and will PORT and upgrade
