1. Create a new form, and place a Pageframe on it.

2. Add a command button to the form, and place the following code in its Click
  event:

     THISFORM.Pageframe1.Pagecount=3
     WITH THISFORM.Pageframe1.Page3
      .Addobject('TEXT1','TEXTBOX')
      .Addobject('TEXT2','TEXTBOX')
     ENDWITH

     WITH Thisform.Pageframe1.Page3.text1
      .top=5
      .width=80
      .left=5
      .height=20
      .visible=.t.
      .Controlsource='lctext1'
