Hey Kirk,

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

Well I was hoping for simple and elegant and beautiful! <smile>

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.

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.

Appreciate,
John…
