We can do normal page tabs, how do you do tabs that change part of a page.

Chris,
Two ways that I can think of:
- Pretend the two guises of the page are two pages. The two pages will have some controls in common. These controls will have to occur twice - once on each page, and in the exact same spots. You might have to do some programming to keep the content of the control pairs in synch. Unless they are data-aware.
- Put all the controls on one page. Let the form's CREATE handler and the handlers for the tabs "turn the controls on and off" by setting their VISIBLE property.
I think I'd go for the latter. In most cases that would be the natural thing to do.

A variant on the first way -
Set the controls that you want to persist across the pages using the tab - fix method and then place the other controls on separate pages.
Eg if you have top half common and bottom half changes - place the bottom half controls on separate pages.

Or if the 115 controls per page limit hits you, you can use MDI the tabs autoclosing the current child/tab and opening the new child/tab.
