to focus on a tab page click on it and once you see those little green squares around that page you will know you are focused on it. One thing to keep in mind is if you copy an object from one form object (like the form it's self) to an enhanced tab page the copied object will be pasted in about the same 'location' ie. If your form is say 700x600 and you copy a text object from position 650 from left and 550 from top into a enhanced tab that is 400X400 you will not see it until you make that enhanced tab atleast the same size or bigger then form because the pasted object is located about 650 from left and 550 from top on the enhanced tab page.

I can click on a text box, or a tab sheet, then sometimes 7 out 10 items can be group or none of them. Depressing the control key works sometimes.
