OK, first question, when I open the about window and then click the close button, why does the program exit? I just want to close the about window, not the whole program.
And, secondly, how can I by clicking a button go to a specific tag in the tag object? Say I wanna go to the History tag in the about window.

You are using a modal window. In the help file:
| Quote: | | When a button is pressed, the <button_name>BUTTON event is generated, but the dialog behaves as if it has been closed. |
So don't use your DIALOG CLOSE statement in :CloseAboutBUTTON - it will close your main window.

Try this (from your first example):
| Code: |
DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,240,160
REM *** Modified by Dialog Designer on 24.02.2003 - 09:55 ***
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,About,95,76,,,About
DIALOG SHOW
:Evloop
wait event
goto @event()
:AboutBUTTON
DIALOG CREATE,About,-1,0,356,310,NOSYS
REM *** Modified by Dialog Designer on 24.02.2003 - 10:24 ***
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,TEXT1,292,4,,,%%Copyright

One other thing - any time ya close a child window, it
leaves a live "CLOSE" event.
Ya hafta kill it with %e = @event() or something. 
Cheers, Mac

Thanks alot guys
Now, about the tab object. See the first post.
I've tried tabs in VB but this doesn't work the same way.
Everything I add to the tab object shows up in everytime on runtime.
How do I show and hide the things when changing tabs?
And how to I use a button to open the about window in a certain tab?
Hope I'm not flooding you guys with questions

Isn't there a way I can just go to simple action labels when clicking a tab?

| If you click a TAB, there will be a Tab 1CLICK event. But you have to hide/unhide things to let it change from the one to another... |
