I was wondering if it were possible to have a form with index tabs on the
side that would behave like contol buttons. These tabs would open a section
of a document. An example would be a patient file where section one would be
personal information, section two would be medical information, section three
would be lab reports. I know that you guys like to see code, but I haven't
any yet. I'm not sure what direction to go to get started. Thanks.

Since the only other thread you posted is dotnet related, I assume that you
are not using VB6 or lower. In this case, try the following group:

Actually, in this case I am using VB6.

Not exactly sure if this is what you want to do. I have a form with a
number frames on it that have their visibility set to false. When I
click a command button it sets visibility to true for the corresponding
frame.

Try a TabStrip control. This is part of Windows Common Controls. Set the
TabStrip's Placement property to 2 - tabPlacementLeft. Personally, however,
I think I'd find this annoying (the tabs being on the side, presumably left
side, of the form). Probably better to have the tabs in the traditional
style.
