Thanks, and I think this is the direction that I need to go. What the heck, I've got all night to work on it anyway.

I don't have a good reference that shows TabStrip, but I see that I can't address the individual tabs using .Tab. In ssTab I can use ssTab1.Tab = 1 or If ssTab1.Tab = 1 Then. How do I perform the same function with TabStrip??
