hi,
I think you use the basic command open that expects a string for a
document.
You must declare the dll calls you want to use first ie :
declare aliasname as SetFocus of dllname
var as integer
var2 as string*25
end declare

then set the vars
aliasname.var=9786786789
aliasname.var2="kjghkjjhkjhjk"
aliasname''the actual call





here is an example how to use the tab:
object f as form
object t as tabcontrol
onchange=tab_change
tabs(0)="tab0"
tabs(1)="tab1"
object pan0 as panel
align=alClient
caption="panel0"
object b as button
caption="panel0"
end object
end object
object pan1 as panel
visible=False
align=alClient
caption="panel1"
end object
end object
end object

f.showmodal


sub tab_change()
select case t.TabIndex
case 0
pan0.visible=true
pan1.visible=False'' set other panels also to false if there
are more.
case 1
pan1.visible=True
pan0.visible=False'' set other panels also to false if there
are more.
end select


best regards
