Dynamic Notebook/tabbox selections

I was hoping that someone has created a dynamic notebook or tabbox tool whose entries could vary depending on enabled rights or features. The intent here is to show the user only those features or configuration tabs as appropriate. Certainly a different
list of options could be supplied via an array, but what about linked controls since they usually are specified with a page or selection number? If the list (or order) varies, it seems to me that the controls would function inappropriately.

I have even considered a new custom class that would launch subforms to overlay the notebook or tabbox areas, but this is not as elegant as I might hope.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

JM

Have a look at :

http://www.dbasedeveloper.co.uk/rmX...rmXPTabBook.htm

This is a "fake" notebook, in that it uses form pages to hold the contents of
the "notebook".

This control can have its tabs built on the fly, which you could do
conditionally based on whatever criteria you wish.

Is this what you need ?
