Hi there, When ever ive used tab control, ive used something similar to the following code: CTabCtrl m_MainTabCtrl; TC_ITEM TabCtrlItem; TabCtrlItem.mask = TCIF_TEXT; TabCtrlItem.pszText = "Tab1"; m_MainTabCtrl.InsertItem( FILE_RESULTS_VIEW, &TabCtrlItem ); TabCtrlItem.pszText = "Tab2"; m_MainTabCtrl.InsertItem(FILE_SCAN_VIEW , &TabCtrlItem); This will show the Tabs only, I then insert a CDialog and show and hide the dialog as needed by the tabs. Hope this helps.

I had a simmilar problem, but it related to the Access database and i wasn't using a socket connection. It turned out that the ODBC driver you need to set up on the ODBC Cad 32 was out of date and the program just sat there chewing up processing time and ram... I don't know if this is your problem, but you could try to look at Access connection for the fault. Good Luck Dor
