NewEra 2.2 - SuperTables & Tabbed Windows!!

What I really want to do is to be able to use the tabs to extend a supertable across more than one page. The informix AFCL has an example of tabbed windows and it is mentioned that it is possible to acheive. I've tried to use both this class with tabbed frames, but I can't seem to get the example "tabs" working or a combination. So far I've got a pretty tabbed window with three tabs. A free-form table on tab1 and another table on tab2. Both tables are named differently and I've got the "conMap" part(out of uHdrSuperTable etc) mapping the 2nd supertable into the 1st supertable in the constructor of the window. This seems to work but the supertable on the 2nd tab is "dead" when the tab is clicked. Nothing works. The 1st Supertable queries and retreives ok. I've now moved the supertable buttons outside the frames and when a tab receives focus I change the supertable that the buttons are working with. This works fine. I've now painted a different grid form supertable onto a third tab, and this works individually ok. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to use the "conMap" functionality in my code. I've read the detailed documentation off the CD Rom for AFCL in version 3 and I got no where. It shows a working example so it should be possible. I'm sure someone will have got this working. Anybody... please help. -- Tim Simpson
