problems with a multitab form

[JulieD]

Hi All

i'm using a multitab control (5 pages) on a userform ... an option is chosen
from a combo box (outside the multitab control) & then various controls in
the multitab control are populated on the exit event of the combo box ...
but it's behaving "flaky" ...

specifically - if i use the mouse to exit the combo box (ie i click on
another field - also outside of the multitab control) i get an hourglass and
the form "hangs" - whereas if i use the tab it's (almost) fine ...

the second problem is that sometimes the multitab control takes a while to
sort itself out ... i'm populating fields in the multitab control & then
counting the records and putting the number into a textbox outside the
multitab control ... this textbox will show the right number of records, but
the records won't show in the multitab control until i click on a tab & then
another & then the last one & then the first one and then - hey presto -
there they are.

i don't have the code at home with me but would appreciate any insight as to
where to look for the problem. Using excel 2000.

Thanks
