I have been requested to create a form using nested PageFrames.

Has anyone any comments on the wisdom, (or lack of it), of such a form?

TIA

Chris
 
I have gone two deep on on a couple of occasions but usually when the 2nd one had very few controls (like one memo field on each page.) There are several problems with nesting too deep. It gets very confusing to the users, the page tabs start taking up huge amounts of room. The temptation to put way to many total objects on the form becomes hard to resist, enting up with a form that takes forever to init.

Consider launching child screens when needed to show some of the data that is used less often.

Thanks for your comments.

I have now tried it two deep which is deep enough!
