I minimize the tab even more by setting the font size to 1 pt (the smallest allowed) but there is still a small hot spot on the screen. I tried using another tab panel to block the hot spot, it only works if you use the new tab itself to block the hotspot.

This test also taught me that I can create a tab with the space bar only or by eraseing the name after you create the tab.

It said conditional formatting can only be applied to fields, text objects, and buttons. I added <em>web viewers</em> to that list.</p> There was a small inaccuracy in this article.

(unless I missed something) By placing another tab panel however overlying the tabs only (however wide they are set) the user cannot accidentally change the underlying tabs. Then the go to object script step locks the user on that tab.</p> Jesse’s tip is great, but I can still change the tabs even if set to 0 pixels.

Thanks for the tip. I never thought to try. If it works as advertised (and this is Jesse Barnum of TechNet fame folks...I'm sure he's right :) ) then this will be an awesome technique. I feel another article coming on.</p> <p>Geoff</p> @jesse: Wow. Thanks for the tip. I never thought to try.
