Hey Kirk, Note: This design has been in place an evolving for several years now. A further requirement brought the issue to light.

Yes I am currently in process of doing that. This is not the property editor subforms that I have working quite well. It’s much simpler than that. But I am willing to reconsider now that the design need have evolved and changed. I could just remove the subform container and have a single subform with multiple pages and see how that works. But I do like having a separate swappable subform to model the behavior I need. As to the data that’s not really relevant although - as you might remember - I do have a similar approach with a single form method, aka, pseudo class with all behavior, and I use an object with embedded objects for what I need data wise. > This doesn't directly solve the problem you have at the moment but you > could use SET TIMER in the subform (according to the docs SET TIMER is > scoped to the subform) … I tried playing around with Set Timer and couldn’t get it working either. I think I will take a few more days off and when I return look at it with fresh eyes.
