Thanks for the reply.

I had considered the reason necessary, but reconsidered and I'm now going to use a dialog box instead. The reason was that the tabs were the categories for a competition, and the names of these would be changeable from one cometition to the next. However, I agree that the need would not normally arise, and I've decided to have a single dialog box with a label and buttons to pan through the categories. Part of the reason for this change is the compexity of doing it the other way.

Thanks again. Much appreciated.

There is a half-way house, which is to use a Tab Control:

That gives you a lot more flexibility than a property sheet, including the ability to change the 'tab' titles on the fly without messing about with templates, but because it operates at a lower level it is somewhat more work.
