Form

I have a form with a sstab with 97 tabs and each tab has another sstab with
4 tabs.  Each one of those tabs has 5 items on it and I get an error after
doing a couple of them because I run into the problem with to many controls
on it.  If someone can give me some suggestions in getting this to work.

Thanks
Ed

97 tabs, are you serious?  What the hell are you writing - I am seriously
intrigued here.

The first thing I'd do is redesign the interface.  97 tabs is going to be
unmanageable for the users.  Maybe a treeview on the left listing the 97
categories, in some logical order, and then 4 nodes under each category
replacing the child sstab controls...

If you insist on using the tabs then you do have all of the child sstab
controls in a control array, right?

What about up / down arrows attached to a textbox.  This way the user can
use the arrows to cycle through the 97 containers or type a number in the
textbox.  Then display a frame or display the same frame handling the frame
based on the selected value.

Does each tab duplicate the exact same interface?

Yes each tab does duplicate.  Can you give me a quick sample of what you are
talking about?

Hard to because I'm unsure what you are trying to accomplish with each
frame.  But it would seem that you could use one interface and handle it
based on the requested value (0 - 96)...

I think the control is referred to as a spinner control.

They moved? The last site was blocked by our filter but I've
got access again... Cool.
