what object should I use if I want to use the tabs similar to those found in the display properties of windows 9x?

I plan to use those tabs to minimze the forms I need for my program. As well as have an easier means of navigating between forms.

With this obejct, will I be able to have a certain number of tabs with a set of other objects (text boxes, etc.) during design time, but will only have a certain number of those tabs visible to the user during run time. The plan is when a user enters a password, the password will dictate which tabs will be available to the user.

You can do that with the visible property, however, you will have to remember to set the left and top properties so that if you hide #2, #3 will move into #2 etc. or you could just load a control array at load time which would be easier.
