Tone,

Thanks a lot!   I had found info about sendMessage, & tried using it, but my
usage only partly worked, while yours seems to work fine.  Mine didn't move
associated controls to the correct tabs after one was deleted, but yours did
that just fine, so I'll try to see what's different.

Thanks again :)

Dan
