I would try not using forms to simulate tabs. I've made tabs in the past using a single form and just hiding or displaying the appropriate controls. If moving to a single form style tab is not what you want, another option is not to use the save behind feature. (Besides, you could get into trouble down the road if you start to run out of memory and the OS stops saving behind the popup dialog.) I'd just have the form on top redraw after you dismiss the popup.
