Hi Man.

mmmmmm, good. but i don´t like you solution, but thanks :

Pupiweb one suggestion I can make is that for the "True Tabs" change the font size to 1 point and reduce your overlaced graphic to smaller size.. this will help to reduct the possible impact of a user discovering the hole in this technic.

Also one minor challenge with this technique is that in order to have borders for the Tabs and Tab areas, an indepent set of graphics is needed. Just means a little more design effort but if you working smart off of your inventory of templates its worth it for this functionality.

What we need FileMaker to do is provide for scripting off of a natural Tab...

Hi Ferrell,

It is acceptable for you to post a modified version of a Sample file, as this is an [color:blue] Open Source Solutions. In reading your reply, I'm not sure I'm following what you mean by [color:blue] "hole in this technic," could you explain what you mean there.
