Info Combining on Page 2 in Page Frames

How can I get my info on Page 1 to stay on Page 1 when I select Page 2   When I select Page 1 just the info I placed on Page 1 appears.  When I select Page 2 however, the info I placed on Page 1 also appears on Page 2 along with Page 2's info. 

Thanks!

    Sounds like your "Page 1 info" (controls) were placed at the form level, not the Page1 level.  Sounds like you successfully added controls to Page2, but when you thought you were adding controls to Page1, you were actually adding to the form itself.

    See my reply to your previous post.

    Ok thanks.  I'm still not doing it correctly though. Tongue Tied  Is there somewhere I can attach my form so someone can look at it   I'm new to VFP & I'm really stuck on this. 

    Thanks for all your help.

    It's fairly easy once you get the hang of it.

    You have  Pageframe. It is a container for Pages inside. As Drew said, you have to drill into the pages, else you are placing your controls on the pageframe or form, not in the individual pages.

    In newer versions of VFP:
    Click on the PageFrame. Then Ctrl-Click on a page (or page tab).
    Look at the Properties sheet and you'll see it says Page1 now instead of PageFrame1 (or whatever you named it).

    In older versions of VFP where Ctrl-Click to drill into containers is not available (don't remember but either Pre-VFP8 or VFP7):

    Click on the PageFrame. Then Right-Click to see a context menu. Click "Edit" and you'll see the Properties sheet now showing Page1 instead of PageFrame.
