Thank you for your replies. I tried the DESTROY solution and it did indeed work, so thank you very much :)
As far as the button hang goes, the below code has the same problems, however, when you remove the StatusBar it doesnt. Its very odd and i'm not sure how to go about debugging it. I tried to remove the StatusBar from my main program, but that did not solve the issue, so I dont think it has to do with the StatusBar, but something is obviously tripping it up there. The reason I use TabFrame is because I am familiar with it, and because I cannot find any examples on how to work with TabStrip (for example, I created a TabStrip script, but could not figure out how to add widgets to it). I did find one example by searching the mailing list for "AddTabStrip", however from the example it looks like I have to hide each individual widget when changing tabs. Is this correct? I must confess though, I have spent very little time looking for TabStrip code, so I may be missing something entirely :) Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions as to what may be causing my problems, or how I could go about debugging it, they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the help.

It must be something to do with TabFrame (probably a scoping issue) since if the buttons are created directly on the tab strip they work fine. I'm not to sure what to suggest - other than don't use the TabFrame package:) Cheers, jez. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electronic Privacy Notice.
