VBA: lost controls in properties window

Hi,
I wasn't suppose to be back so soon, but I have a particularly irritating conundrum: when I look in the properties menu of the userform I'm working on, I can't find all of the damned controls. Perhaps this is the problem - I have three stacked frames and each frame contains controls. Is this the difficulty? If so, ok, I can work around that.
I was hoping for a workable solution - shifting frames so they don't nest is a pain - but, logically (damned logic), I can understand why this happens.
If there is a solution less painful, please let me know.
Thank you - and have a happy eve',
Shawn

Hello Norie,
When I look in the property window, I see the frame that is at the front and I see the two controls that are on the frame; oh, and the form.
Sigh. I used the frames in lieu of the multi strip because, while the multi-strip has Picture property - first necessity - and a background colour, for the band behind the tabs - workable with a proper colour picker - the tabs remain white. I'm too picky - likely why I take twice as long in Photoshop or on a canvas. All said and done, it would have been easier to use the multi-strip.
Apparently it takes me twice the time to say things, as well. Sorry 'bout that.
Thank you for your reply. I can see clearly now.
Have a good evening,
Shawn
