At what point in time is MS going to alter Forms so that controls only tab
between controls on the same page? Building a wizard where you want the user
to be able to TAB, just like the rest of every application out there, would
be so much easier.

I don't quite understand the problem here. Using the tab key skips
from page to page?

From what I can tell, when you're working with multiple pages using the tab
key will tab from control to control and change pages if the next control is
on another page. I want the user to remain on the same page and only move
via a NEXT or PREVIOUS button.

There may be a solution, but we need to first be on the same page :-)

I'm building a wizard. By 'pages' I'm referring to the sections of the form
that are separated from each other using page break control.
